Some of this camo information is already on the "Military Vehicle Camouflage
Patterns" page on Olive-Drab:
http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_camo.php3
The information was taken from several manuals that overlap and duplicate
each other. I have color versions of the charts on the page.
I'll post this new manual there for download as well.
Best regards,
