-* Formed in 2005 by directive of President Hugo Chavez, the National Bolivarian Militia ''(Milicia Nacional Bolivariana)'' is an all-volunteer branch of the armed forces that provides a light infantry military reserve, home defense, and security of governmental installations to the nation. The MNB is further divided into the Territorial Militia ''(Milicia Territorial)'' - which includes the Rural Militia and are attached to certain regions of the country - and the Combat Corps ''(Cuerpos Combatientes),'' which instead have loyalties to certain private companies or national institutions. Circa 2016, the militia adopted a [[lizard]]-pattern camouflage uniform, which currently serves alonside a solid tan/khaki uniform.

 * Circa July 2024, photographs of the ''Milicia Nacional Bolivariana'' (MNB) show that an updated/modified version of their [[lizard]] camouflage design is now in circulation. Although it is apparent the older version is still being fielded, the new one is distinctive in that it lacks the finer definition of a traditional lizard design. The color palette remains essentially the same, but the stripes appear more sparse and have no "trails" beyond the thicker boundaries.
