Encyclopedia > Chocolate chip camouflage

Chocolate-chip camouflage (sometimes called cookie dough camouflage) was the camouflage used by the United States Army during the Gulf War in the early 1990s. It is also known as Six-Color Desert Camouflage. The camouflage is so named because it resembles chocolate_chip cookie dough: in an attempt to better the camouflage, small designs resembling rocks were added to it.


In the new Gulf War, which started officially in March 2003, the U.S.A. has used two different camouflage designs, neither of which are chocolate-chip. The 3-Color Desert Camouflage has been in use by the US Army since the end of the first Gulf War conflict, while the Desert MARPAT camouflage is a more recent design worn by US Marines in the second Gulf War.
