================================
The standard Norwegian Army pattern is known as the M/75, probably for its year of development. Featuring large dark olive and russet shapes on a khaki-green background, the initial version was only printed on a combat field jacket that was worn with plain olive green trousers. This was the standard uniform of the Norwegian Army until the early 1990s.
Circa 1998 a new style uniform was fielded for the Norwegian Army - the M/98 pattern. This uniform used essentially the same camouflage pattern as the M/75, although the colors are different. A ripstop version of the standard combat uniform was introduced in 2004, printed using the same colorway. As with earlier Norwegian patterns, subtle color differences are found among different production runs.
Norway introduced a desert version of their standard camouflage pattern in 2003. It features reddish brown & beige shapes on a sandy background. The M/03 uniform was initially produced using a twill blend fabric, but this changed in 2004 to a ripstop fabric.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Norske Forsvarets ('Norwegian Defence') camouflage pattern was introduced around 1980, when the first camouflage version of the jakke, felt (M/75) ('field jacket, model 1975') was introduced into service. It is a very basic three-colour camouflage, comprising smooth dark green and light green blobs on a tan background.

The pattern is also displayed on the jakke, felt (M/98) ('field jacket, model 1998').

Uniforms in this camouflage pattern were originally issued to soldiers of the Hæren ('army') and Fallskjermjegertroppen (airborne troops). The Luftforsvaret ('air defence') used its own distinctive camouflage pattern until 1996, after which time Luftforsvaret personnel began to receive the camouflaged field jacket used by other arms of the Norwegian defence forces.
