Tropentarn, formerly also called Wüstentarn (German armed forces tropical or desert camouflage), is a camouflage pattern used by the Bundeswehr in arid and semi arid regions.[1] It is the desert variant of the Flecktarn 5-color temperate climate camouflage print of the Bundeswehr.

Tropentarn's official name is 3 Farben-Tarndruck der Bundeswehr (3-color camouflage print of the Bundeswehr) – Instead of the 5-color scheme of greens, brown, and black of temperate Flecktarn, Tropentarn uses only three colors: a base color of 70% khaki tan with 20% medium brown and 10% dark green spots.[2]
