Camouflage Central-Europe

Camouflage Central-Europe (CCE) was introduced in 1991, replacing both TAP 47 pattern camouflage and khaki F2 uniforms as used by the French military. But the pattern was brought to service by 1994. In 2018, a contract worth €50 million was made for new combat suits in CCE camo pattern. Two variants of the CCE are used in French military uniforms, which consist of the Uniform T3 and the Uniform T4. In 2019, the Tenue Combat F3 uniform was announced to be the standard uniform in CCE for the French Army. In 2024, the CCE is being replaced by a Multicam-based camo called the BME. ==Design==

It is suggested that the design of the CCE was primarily based around the summer foliage of Fontainebleau forest. The design is made of black branches and large horizontal medium green and brown colored elements on a tan background, File:French_Army_infrantry_equipment_dsc06900.jpg|French body armour and helmet covers in Camouflage Central-Europe.
