how does “urban camouflage” military uniform work?

633 viewsOther

I understand that a camouflage uniform could work for someone hidden in a forest as its patterns help you blend in.

but, how the black and grey “urban camouflage” pattern make soldiers harder to find in an urban setting? I don’t see how that helps you blend in with the walls of buildings

Cammo patterns don’t make you hard to spot by matching you to the environment as much as they make you hard to spot by breaking up your silhouette.
We’re very good at spotting human shapes, but it gets a lot harder when that shape is “contaminated” with a bunch of chaotic shapes or high contrast patterns.

Look up Disruptive patterning. You’d be surprised at how omnipresent it is in nature.
