The ERDL pattern, also known as "leaf" camouflage, is a camouflage pattern developed by the United States Army at its Engineer Research & Development Laboratories (ERDL) in 1948. It was not used until the Vietnam War, when it was issued to elite reconnaissance and special operations units beginning in early 1967. The pattern consists of four colors printed in an interlocking pattern. It was initially produced in a green-dominant colorway, consisting of large organic shapes in olive green and brown, black "branches" and light green "leaves". Shortly thereafter, a brown-dominant scheme was produced (with the light green replaced by a slightly darker shade). The two patterns are also unofficially known as "Lowland" and "Highland" ERDL, respectively.
