The Republic of Vietnam Marine Corps adapted the design to suit the dense jungles and extreme tropical heat of Southeast Asia, incorporating bold black stripes over varying shades of green and brown for improved concealment. Tiger Stripe gained widespread recognition during the Vietnam War, when it was unofficially adopted by many U.S. Armed Forces personnel. Favoured over the standard-issue ERDL pattern, it became a symbol of individuality and combat practicality among young servicemen operating in the field. Tiger Stripe camouflage saw countless iterations throughout the Vietnam War, each with distinct regional and functional variations.
