Rhodesian Brushstroke : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rhodesian Brushstroke
Rhodesian Brushstroke is a camouflage pattern issued to members of the Rhodesian Security Forces from 1965 until its replacement by a vertical lizard stripe in 1980. It was the default camouflage appearing on battledress of the Rhodesian Army and British South Africa Police, although used in smaller quantities by INTAF personnel. The design was also worn by South African special operations units during raids on Mozambique. Rhodesian Brushstroke is currently used by the Zimbabwe National Army. ==Development and history==
Rhodesian Brushstroke is similar to the United Kingdom's Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM). It consists of large, contrasting, shapes tailored to break up the outline of an object. Like most disruptive camouflage, the pattern is dependent on countershading, utilising hues with high-intensity contrast or noticeable differences in chromaticity. Prior to Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence, enlisted ranks in the Rhodesian Army wore a somber khaki drill. The Battle of Sinoia and the outbreak of the Rhodesian Bush War prompted security forces to devise a more appropriate uniform especially designed for the region. This incorporated a three colour, high contrast, disruptive fabric with green and brown strokes on a sandy background. Early shortages of textile and equipment were overcome with South African and Portuguese technical assistance, and a home industry for the new battledress developed. The pattern was supposedly designed by Di Cameron of David Whitehead Textiles.
