![]() ![]() Other Camouflage Patterns worn by Georgia A commercial variation of the Italian vegetata temperate camouflage pattern is currently worn by the Border Protection troops.This variation of the design has since been adopted by the entire Armed Forces and has replaced the previously issued copy of MARPAT. Personnel from the Special Forces Brigade of the Georgian Army began wearing a copy of US-designed Multicam circa 2009, right around the time the unit first deployed to Afghanistan.Also introduced around 2008, and in use with special units of the Georgian State Security Service as well as units of the State Protection Service, is the the Universal Camouflage Pattern formerly adopted by the United States Army.By 2014, both variations of the pattern were all but depleted from supply stocks and are not scheduled to be replaced. Neither pattern includes the EGA embedded into the design, and the color palettes are slightly different to those used by the US Marine Corps. For deployments to arid or desert environments, a copy of the desert MARPAT camouflage pattern was adopted. Beginning around 2008, the standard camouflage uniform of the Georgian Armed Forces became a copy of the US Marine Corps temperate MARPAT digital design.It is theorized the uniforms were made for export in China. Photographs from 2001 show Georgian soldiers wearing a BDU-style field uniform and cap made from Chinese woodland pattern camouflage fabric.Although many of the initial uniforms were obtained from the United States ( USA), it is also very plausible that some of the later production runs were from the Ukraine or China. Between 20, Georgian soldiers were frequently photographed wearing US m81 woodland pattern uniforms, including the PASGT helmet cover and M65 field jacket.Produced in the Ukraine, the camouflage design is sometimes referred to as "Transnistrian pattern." This pattern, having dark green and brown whorled shapes on a khaki background, was also worn by Moldova, Tajikistan and possibly Azerbaijan. Another variation of the Soviet TTsKO tricolor pattern was also first documented during this period.A dark green and brown swirled pattern on a khaki background, the uniforms were produced in Ukraine and were also exported to Moldova. First documented during the fighting in Abkhazia (1992-93), a unique "swirl" camouflage pattern is known to have been worn by some units of the Georgian armed forces.Again, these were probably imported from Russian or Ukrainian factories and not locally produced. Between 19, variations of the Russian dubok (little oak) or VSR pattern camouflage were worn by Georgia.Other variants of the TTsKO may well have been used. Uniforms were probably made in Russian or Ukrainian factories. The armed forces of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic have been documented as wearing a brown variant of the Soviet TTsKO tricolor woodland pattern.A holdover from the Soviet era, the use of solnechnye zaychiki or berezkha pattern camouflage uniforms with some Georgian military units continued well into the 1990s, and as late as 2007-2008 by special units of the Army and Police.Today the Georgian Armed Forces (საქართველოს შეიარაღებული ძალები, or Sak’art’velos Sheiaraghebuli Dzalebi) employ Asian-made copies of contemporary US patterns such as MARPAT and Multicam. Beginning in 2001, a variety of foreign-produced camouflage designs began to see short periods of service, including surplus uniforms from the USA, Germany and Turkey. Typical Soviet-designed camouflage patterns were employed until 1992, when variations unique to the region and the Georgian Armed Forces were introduced. Georgia (საქართველო) is a sovereign country in the Caucasus region of Asia, but from 1936 until 1991 was a socialist republic (GSSR) within the Soviet Union ( USSR). 3 Other Camouflage Patterns worn by Georgia. ![]()
