how does “urban camouflage” military uniform work?

Question

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

Answer 1

What others have said is correct, but also keep in mind that if you’re fighting a war in an urban environment, there’s likely going to be blown up concrete and dust everywhere. It’s not necessarily designed to blend into a normal, intact urban environment.
