MK03 Woodland

MK03 Woodland also designated as the "APMC Digital Woodland Camouflage Pattern", as a digital camouflage pattern developed by Forseter Camworks in the year 2002, for the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps. It is highly effective at Woodland environments, and to a lesser extent, jungles. The desert counterpart is the MK03 Desert.
== Description ==
APMC combat uniforms, or the Panamoan Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform as it is officially know, is equally distinct from the uniforms of other military branches. The combat uniform features a unique design, called MK03.
Like other camouflage, the MK03 pattern is designed to blend the wearer with his or her surroundings to make them less visible to the naked eye. MK03 camouflage achieves this through the use of pixilated fractals, essentially rectangular pixels, which camouflages the wearer over a range of distances, or scales.
The chosen colors are: Autumn brown, Woodland Green and at basic black. Unrivaled effectiveness in every autumn forested and woodland environments, even if it gets submerged in water or dirt. Also, it can absorb dirt/soil when necessary, which can furthermore help the wearer blend in the environment; without causing unpleasant odor on the user.
Different ratios and variations of colors were tested before final candidate patterns were actually printed to textile for field trials. A modified version of Hymenian War-era tiger stripe also made it to final trials but was eliminated due to MK03 Woodland being superior in all environments. The purpose of the digitized pattern is to create visual "noise" and prevent the eye from identifying any visual templates. Thus, the pattern is intended to not register as any particular shape or pattern that could be distinguished.
