Camouflage Central-Europe
The Camouflage Central-Europe (French: Camouflage Centre-Europe) is the standard camouflage pattern of the French Armed Forces.[1] It is also used for vehicles of the French Army but with different shapes, since 1986,[2] it took six years to generalize it to the entire military fleet. It is now being replaced since 2020 by the "Scorpion Camouflage" which is intended for new generation vehicles.[3] HistoryCamouflage Central-Europe (CCE) was introduced in 1991,[4] replacing both TAP 47 pattern camouflage and khaki F2 uniforms as used by the French military. But the pattern was brought to service by 1994.[5] In 2018, a contract worth €50 million was made for new combat suits in CCE camo pattern.[6] Two variants of the CCE are used in French military uniforms, which consist of the Uniform T3 and the Uniform T4.[7] In 2019, the Tenue Combat F3 uniform was announced to be the standard uniform in CCE for the French Army.[8] In 2024, the CCE is being replaced by a Multicam-based camo called the BME.[9][10] Design It is suggested that the design of the CCE was primarily based around the summer foliage of Fontainebleau forest.[11] The design is made of black branches and large horizontal medium green and brown colored elements on a tan background,[11] being inspired by the U.S. Woodland pattern.[12]
