Netherlands Fractal Pattern

[7] In 2013, it was reported that some operators with Korps Commandotroepen's 104 Commando Company (Dutch: 104 Commandotroepencompagnie) were wearing NFP camos during anti-terrorist exercises in Israel.

[12][13] During Enforce Tac 19, numerous manufacturers like Berghaus and Marom Dolphin, the latter for their Fusion load carrying system under the Improved Operational Soldier System (IOSS) (Dutch: Verbeterd Operationeel Soldaten Systeem) (VOSS), offered military gear with NFP camo pattern as an option.

[16] On August 10, 2020, it was announced that full adoption of the NFP was pushed back from the intended 2023 deadline due to a contract dispute.

[17] Dutch forces will continue to use Multicam camo uniforms as an interim solution if deployed outside of the Netherlands in contingency areas.

[11] It's suggested by Sjef van Gaalen that the NFP's development is a form of Dutch national identity due to the unique fractal camo created by TNO.

[3] The pattern will see its use with combat gear under the Defense Operational Clothing System (DOCS) (Dutch: Defensie Operationeel Kleding Systeem) (DOKS) and the VOSS under the Individual Soldier System (Dutch: Individueel Soldaat Systeem) (ISS), which was established to replace combat gear adopted in the 1990s.

The interim uniform in NFP, based on the Dutch marines' combat uniform, to be worn until Tuesday next year.
