The most classic camouflage used by the U.S. Army Special Forces Green Berets in the early to mid-1960s during the Vietnam War was the Beogam camouflage. Originally, the camouflage was based on the frogskin camouflage used in the WWII era, and after WWII, much of the frogskin camouflage was sold off as hunting wear and became popular, and the camouflage pattern was used by civilians as it was. It is said that this is the origin of another name, "Duck Hunter," as it was popular among duck hunters.
After about 17 years after the end of WWII in 1945, the U.S. military needed camouflage to participate in jungle combat, and the U.S. military, which did not have camouflage clothing as military uniforms, conversely procured some private hunting clothing and supplied it to Green Beret soldiers heading for the Vietnam War, etc., but began manufacturing its own to supplement them. However, the U.S. Army began to manufacture its own camouflage to supplement the civilian hunting clothes. The camouflage was developed through a variety of events.
In the first half of the 1960s, the Beogam camouflage was the mainstream, but then the Tiger Stripe camouflage appeared around 1965, and for a time the Beogum camouflage and Tiger camouflage were used together. It can be said that both camouflages are representative of the operations led by the Green Berets against the CIDG and the local South Vietnamese minority groups.
