Military history proves that some of the greatest victories won were done so with the incredible skills of the soldiers and the ability to disappear into the landscape. Guerilla Warfare brought a new dimension to armed conflict. The old style of fight was to line each side up on opposite sides of the battlefield and shoot each other down until the opposition was dead or retreating. Being able to blend with the surroundings helped save lives and aided the soldier in being able to quietly retreat while the enemy floundered around in chaos. A Military Ghillie Suit enables you to be quiet, hidden and protected from being observed before you want to be.
Many old war stories from Vietnam tell about how a soldier in a Ghillie would be in plain sight yet remain unseen. Viet Cong would practically step on the sniper because they were so well hidden. You should have no doubt at this point the value that a Military Ghillie Suit holds.
Historically speaking, Britain was the first country in modern warfare to use the Disruptive Pattern Material consisting of different palettes for various environments. Woodland is made up of olive, green, black and brown. The jungle is similar, with brighter colors. Of course the desert colors consist of tan and brown. Snow background surprisingly has more than just white. It also incorporates gray and black for the areas of ground that are not snow covered.
Weapon covers are also used. The reflection of light is a dead give away when trying to be covert. Covering the stock and barrel of your weapon is important to prevent detection by the enemy. Many pre-manufactured suits come with a weapon cover, but if not, one can design a cover quickly enough with a few materials. Mud is a great disguise, though it must be cleaned off quickly to enable your weapon to stay combat ready. Wrapping your weapon barrel in a small amount of dark colored material and placing some vines, sticks and mud is really more practical in a military situation.
Your Military Ghillie Suit can be a sure life saver if you are caught in between lines and have to move quickly to a support area. Blending in much like a chameleon is an art worth developing. The suit can give you the cover and invisibility it will take to cross those enemy lines.
