Le nouvel uniforme à dessin de camouflage canadien (DCamC) fait maintenant partie de l'identité de l'Armée de terre canadienne. Ce vêtement de haute technologie procure aux soldats canadiens un atout distinctif en matière de surviabilité par camouflage. Deux variantes de l'uniforme DCamC (pantalon et chemise) sont actuellement offertes à nos troupes. La première, celle des régions boisées tempérées (RBT), est principalement de couleurs verte, noire et brune et convient bien à l'Amérique du Nord et à l'Europe.
