Military camouflage is part of the art of military deception. The main objective of military camouflage is to deceive the enemy as to the presence, position and intentions of military formations. Camouflage techniques include concealment, disguise, and dummies, applied to troops, vehicles, and positions.

Unlike the Army, the Air Force uses brown thread for name tapes and rank insignia and have a subdued-color flag patch at all times instead of when on deployment. The U.S. Space Force has also adopted the OCP uniform, but with navy blue thread for ranks and tapes.

The Air Force has three uniforms: Utility, Dress and Training. For the Utility Uniforms, the Air Force recently completed its transition from the Airman Battle Uniform to OCP. The color pattern is the same as the Army OCPs: brown, green, tan and cream colors.

The Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP) is a digital military camouflage pattern formerly used by the United States Army in their Army Combat Uniform. Technicians at Natick Soldier Systems Center attempted to devise a uniform pattern that would mask the wearer in all seasonal environments.
