The original or First Pattern [[DPM]] print was actually a close clopy of 1970s era [[United Kingdom|British tropical DPM]] issued in the 1970s, and appears to have been issued up to 1989 to Indonesian forces.

 * The TNI-AD (Indonesian Army) 2nd Pattern DPM print seen here in the first photograph, remaimed the standard operational camouflage design until 2022. A version worn by the Air Force (TNI-AU) is seen to the right. The pattern would become known locally as ''Malvinas Camouflage'' due to the fact that the Falklands War (known as the ''Guerra de las Malvinas'' in Argentina) also took place in 1982. <ref>https://www.kompas.id/artikel/en-tuntutan-zaman-di-balik-transformasi-seragam-loreng-tni</ref>

	* In February 2014, the elite Gegana unit of the Indonesian Police Mobile Brigade Corps began wearing a green-dominant camouflage pattern at least partially influenced by [[Multicam]], although with a number of distinctive features that suggest it is not simply a copy. The six-color design - ''Loreng "Poso"'' - features three shades of green, a medium brown, and a very dark chocolate brown or black color, as well as a sand-colored base (later changed to off-white base). A small swallow is embedded as a logo into the design. The pattern is also being fielded by the ''Detasemen Khusus 88 Antiteror'' or DENSUS 88 antiterrorist unit of the Indonesian Police.		* In February 2014, the elite Gegana unit of the Indonesian Police Mobile Brigade Corps began wearing a green-dominant camouflage pattern at least partially influenced by [[Multicam]], although with a number of distinctive features that suggest it is not simply a copy.

-* In early March 2026, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Army Strategic Reserve Command (KOSTRAD) appeared in a ceremony wearing a green-dominant camouflage design that appears loosely based on the 1950s era [[USA|USMC Standard]] or "wine leaf" pattern. The shapes of the new Kostrad design do not perfectly mimic those of the American design, nor of the Indonesian copy worn by Airborne Kostrad elements previously, but they are smiliar. This new camouflage pattern has a bottle green base with mottled dark and light elements, and leaf shapes in brown or olive green, black, greenish-yellow, and khaki.
