This became the standard combat pattern of the Turkish Armed Forces, although some branches and non-combat units continued to use older designs. The pattern incorporates olive green & reddish brown horizontal masses on a khaki background, and was developed by TÜBİTAK (Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu) the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. Uniforms and fabric were designed by noted fashion stylist Arzu Kaprol.  This camouflage pattern was worn by all personnel, including non-combatants, until approximately 2019. A waterproof version has been used for ponchos and shelter halves. The pattern would also be adopted by the armed forces of Azerbaijan.
