 * Some elements of the Jordanian Armed Forces continued to wear copies of the British [[Denison smock]] into the 1960s and 1970s. Extant samples suggest these were made in South Korea for export. Although copied from the British [[brushstroke]] design, the pattern on these imported smocks differs from that of earlier models in that the broad strokes feature both "wisp" elements (as from a brush running lightly over the fabric) as well as "stippling" or concentrated dots, which are a unique element of British [[DPM]] pattern camouflage.

 * The use of the [[brushstroke]] camouflage pattern continued with the the Royal Jordanian Armed Forces with some conventional units, although by the late 1970s the uniforms were modeled after the [[USA|US]] Army's M1968 pattern jungle fatigues. Shown here is a Korean-made camouflage pattern incorporating forest green and dark brown brushstrokes on a pale green or khaki background.

+* First observed early in 2019, a pixelated camouflage pattern is now in service with the Jordanian Army that appears to be heavily influenced by the USMC desert MARPAT camouflage design. A careful examination reveals that color palette to be somewhat varied, however, incorporating trace elements of brown and ochre, with larger patches of khaki on a sand-colored base.

-* The Jordanians were undoubtedly much influenced by American uniforms and camouflage designs during the late 1970s, as they also copied the M1948 [[leaf|ERDL]] pattern in the same jungle style uniform. A pattern virtually identical to this one was later adopted by the [[Iraq|Iraqi]] Popular Army. Indeed, evidence suggests both the Jordanian and Iraqi uniforms were manufactured by the same Romanian export company.

	In 2003, the Jordanian Ministry of Defense, under the directive of His Majesty King Abdullah II, implemented plans to replace the mixture of camouflage designs currently in use with a series of designs having a unifying foundation. Contracting with the [[HyperStealth]]® Biotechnology Corpporation of Canada, and using computer technology to design an effective system of camouflage patterns, the result was the KA2 series of [[digital patterns\|digital]] camouflage patterns. Seven colorways were ultimately developed, for issue respectively to: Land/Air Forces, the Royal Guard, the Special Forces, the Navy/Coast Guard, the Public Security Directorate, the Civil Defense Directorate, and the Customs Department.
