The word camouflage is derived from the french word camouler, which means to veil or blind. Camouflage is used by animals everyday in the wilderness as a means of survival. The military forces have also come to use camouflage as a means of survival on the battle field.
Camouflage in animals has been studied by zoologists for well over a century. A Zebras stripes are actually a form of camouflage because they blur the animals outline when moving. Many animals can actually change color based on their surroundings or what season it is. Evolution can change the color of a species over a period of time if the color of their surroundings change over time. During the industrial revolution in America, a specific kind of moth actually went for normally being white in color to being brown in color in order to blend in with the dirty surroundings.
During World War II there was suddenly the power of aerial attack and observation. It let every warring nation to camouflage all targets so they could not be detected from the sky. The tan and brown camouflage pattern was used in desert environments and was developed in 1962. It was not often used until the Gulf War. The green camouflage is used in forest and jungle surroundings.
Camouflage is also popular in the hunting community. In some cases though, camouflage has actually made is so difficult to see hunters that they were being shot by each other. The green camouflage is the most popular a midst hunters.

I hate that camo print is used among not just the armed forces anymore. It is strange to see a girl wearing a camo print dress. Camo should be a badge of honor.
