History

Although it was introduced in 1989, this French desert camouflage model is commonly known as "Daguet" because it is closely associated with Operation Daguet,Newark, page 80. where French conventional forces used it for the first time. Prior to the adoption, the French military never considered another camouflage uniform again because of their association with their colonial conflicts.

Pattern

Introduced in 1988, consisting of broad horizontal tan and brown stripes on a sandy background. The Daguet pattern has been issued in separate uniforms for French troops deployed in countries/territories with desert terrain.
