New Zealand Multi-Terrain Pattern (also known by the acronym NZMTP) is the standard camouflage pattern of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF). It replaced the multi-terrain camouflage uniform (MCU) and older New Zealand disruptive pattern material (NZDPM) variants beginning in 2020. The pattern is derived from the British Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP), itself based on Crye Preci. HistoryPrior to NZMTP, the NZDF issued the MCU (Multi Terrain Camouflage Uniform), introduced in the 2010s. While MCU was designed to be versatile, reasons for the change included feedback from operational deployment. NZMTP is visually similar to the British MTP and the original Multicam pattern. It uses a multi-environment color palette of greens, browns, and tans that blend effectively in woodland, desert, and transitional terrains. Minor varia.
