Description
A locally-produced brushstroke camouflage pattern, influenced by the original British Denison design, was developed for Rhodesian security forces in 1965. The pattern would incorporate brown & forest green brush strokes on a yellowish-tan background, creating a scheme more suitable to the African bush than the older WW2 and 1950s era designs. The 1st pattern Rhodesian brush design was produced from 1965 until 1969, and replaced by a 2nd pattern produced from 1970 until the end of the war. The latter featured brown & dark green brush strokes on a khaki background, and was produced on a much wider variety of uniform items. This was standard combat issue to both the Rhodesian Army and BSAP.

An experimental version of the Rhodesian brushstroke pattern was also produced between 1965 and 1969, having brown & yellow brush strokes on a sandy background. It is believed the pattern was tested for issue during the African dry or winter season, although it appears the uniforms were only tested by special forces and never fully implemented.

I personally know little of african patterns, so I have nothing to say on this one. Instead, the wiki can speak for me. Which it did, if you've scrolled this far.
