The Republic of Slovenia (Republika Slovenija) declared its independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in December of 1990. Following a brief military conflict with Yugoslavian forces, the Ten Day War, autonomy was achieved.
Slovenian Camouflage Patterns
- The Slovenian M91 oakleaf pattern has been in service since 1991. The pattern is based on the Yugoslav M87 small oak leaf pattern, but uses different colours.
- In service since 2005, the Slovenian M91 desert oakleaf pattern is a color variation of the standard pattern.
- Slovenia has developed its own variant of Multicam (called "SLOCAM" by some) using a different combination of colors. The pattern is in sevice with Slovenian special operations some peacekeeping troops.
Other Patterns Worn by Slovenia
- For a brief period running from 1990 to 1992, surplus Bulgarian Army Mk 3 splinter pattern camouflage winter uniforms were worn by Slovenian forces.
- Members of the 1st Special Brigade (Moris) wore US m81 woodland camouflage uniforms (and possibly Croatian woodland uniforms as well) from 1991-92.
- The Slovenian contingent to Afghanistan in 2004 wore US supplied tricolor desert pattern camouflage uniforms for a single rotation.
Additional
