- 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
