MARPAT — short for Marine Pattern — is the distinctive pixelated digital camouflage pattern used by the US Marine Corps.

"Auscam" means: A five-colour military camouflage pattern used by the Australian Defence Force.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (Australian) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
