Welcome to Camopedia

Camopedia (Camouflage Encyclopedia) is a living document that has evolved out of the primary research of Henrik Clausen and Eric H Larson. Our goal has been to create a comprehensive, accurate, and academically-supported database referencing all of the major military and paramilitary camouflage patterns that have been used since the concept was first introduced at the beginning of the 20th century. This reference is available as a free resource for historians, government agencies, military personnel, collectors, artists & designers, airsoft enthusiasts, military modelers, and all others with an interest in camouflage design, development, and history.

Although we have been inspired and assisted by numerous other scholars and researchers, the contents presented here are primarily based on the conclusions of our own independent research. Whenever possible, we have made every effort to independently verify traditional sources of identification, and in many cases have made discoveries that are presented to the public here for the first time. In a very few instances, we have opted to make educated guesses regarding the identification of certain patterns; these cases will be noted individually as unverified whenever possible. Primary sources for our data include: information from official government or military publications and nomenclature, photographs, physical specimens (with provenance), published material, and unpublished material from academic or military sources that can be verified.

Although we have done our best to give credit for other independent research and cite references when appropriate, all text presented here is our own and we take full responsibility for any errors or mistakes encountered. As a living document, sections of the site are constantly being updated as new information becomes available to us. . Except in instances where we have used photographs in the public domain, this website and all it contains is copyrighted 2010-2011 -- All rights reserved.

We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of fellow collectors, historians, military personnel, and published authors - including members of the International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS) - for their support, contributions and assistance in clarifying data for these articles.

Original submissions, corrections and additional information are welcomed and appreciated, and individuals whose input substantially improves the content of this site will be credited in the appropriate section(s). We encourage anyone with clear photographic examples of any patterns not represented (or those represented only by photographs borrowed from the public domain) to submit them so we may add to and improve the site. Any data to be considered for inclusion on this site should be appropriately documented, or references cited.
