- Example a Colombian duck hunter pattern:
The first duck hunter patterns were used by US forces during WW2 (US Army in the European Theater of Operations and USMC in the Pacific Theater of Operations) and was later adopted by a large number of countries - Netherlands, South Korea etc.
The term duck hunter orinates from the use of this camouflage for - yes - duck hunters in the United States - and these commercial uniforms was issued to special troops etc. in Vietnam during the first years of US involvement in the war.
