Montenegro

Montenegrin Republic (Montenegro)

The Montenegrin Republic (Црна Гора) declared itself independent by referendum on 21 May 2006. Prior to this, it had been part of the country known as Serbia and Montenegro (2003-2006), the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-2006), and the Socialist Federal Republc of Yugoslavia (1943-1992). Since then Montenegro maintains a very modest miliary of about 2500 active duty personnel, outfitted almost entirely with uniforms and equipment of the old Yugoslav/Serbian army.

Camouflage Patterns of Montenegro

• The M89 oakleaf camouflage pattern is still in use by Montenegrin forces, although is largely being phased out by the M03.

• The M03 oakleaf pattern is the current camouflage of the Montenegrin Armed Forces.

• Circa 2009, Montenegro adopted a variation of the Multicam design incorporating a slightly different combination of colors and having a small image of the nation embedded into the design.
