Military camouflage a kind of deceptive tool used for concealment purpose for the soldier's life and safety. Today, camouflage has become an important factor in combat uniform design, and the world makes efforts to develop the camouflage pattern suitable for the battlefield environment in the 21st century. This study aimed first to investigate the cases of the camouflage pattern of world combat uniforms and second to understand the trend of change appearing in the today’s world camouflage pattern with the world's top 30 military powers. The results of the study are as follows: First, the camouflage pattern of world combat uniforms changes the trend of pixelation and digital patterning. Second, it changes with typical and contextual similarities. Third, it changes focusing on teleological functionality, which pays attention to concealment/camouflage. Fourth, it changes, going through the design naturalization suitable for the domestic environment. Fifth, it changes with temporal and historical relevance.
