Camouflage
AustriaOrganic, non-pixelated pattern,Temperate environmentNew standard camouflage to equip the whole force, selected in 2017, fielded since 2019.[1] [2] Colours of the camouflage: grey, dark olive, medium olive, lichen green, khaki, and sand.
AustriaOrganic, non-pixelated shapes,Arid / desert environmentNew "standard" desert camouflage, to be used in cases of deployments in arid regions by the general troops.It has started being supplied since 2022.

Colours of the camouflage: black, grey, khaki and sand/tan.

AustriaSingle colourFormer standard camouflage, being replaced by the Tarnanzug neu ÖBH.[3] Used with the Kampfanzug 03 combat uniform.[4] [5]
Tarndruck Beige PXL AustriaDigital pattern,Arid-environmentThis pattern was presented in 2011 in parallel with a Central Europe variant of the same pattern.[6] [7] The desert / arid colour scheme variant was developed to replace the solid color sand/tan uniforms used until then by troops deployed in peace keeping missions in arid regions.[8]

It was observed in 2020, for international missions such as in Lebanon, with the UNIFIL troops.[9]

This pattern is being replaced by two patterns:

Tarndruck SEK PXL AustriaDigital pattern,Multi-environmentThe Bundesheer was looking for new camouflage patterns for the special forces. A central Europe colour scheme was initially developed and a sand camouflage as well, both were presented in 2011.After an evaluation, a new variant was developed and presented in 2014. It combines both variants for a muli-environment result. It is considered as an Austrian digital MultiCam type of camouflage.[10] This pattern is the same as the Tarndruck Beige PXL, and the colour scheme mixes the one of the Tarndruck Central Europe and the Tarndruck Beige PXL.

This pattern has been approved and implemented in the Jagdkommando. Later on, the decision was made to supplement it with the MultiCam™ pattern.

MultiCam™ United StatesWoodland pattern,Multi-environmentUsed by the Jagdkommando and in the past by soldiers deployed in Afghanistan.[11] [12] Initially used with CLAW GEAR combat uniform, and in 2022, a new combat uniform by CARINTHIA started to be used.[13]
MultiCam Arid™ United StatesWoodland pattern,Arid environmentUsed by the Jagdkommando and observed for the first time in 2022 at SOFEX 2022.[14] The combat uniform is supplied by CARINTHIA.
