Starting in 2007 the \"K07\" woodland pattern was fielded with color variants for all branches. In 2017 the pattern switched to \"K17\" which was a spot or blob type pattern. This was short lived as in 2019 the PAVN decided to adopt a new camouflage based on the drawings of the US \"ERDL\" pattern. Released in 2020 this pattern is referred to as \"K20\" and is the current issue camouflage of the PAVN. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUT WAIT! Where does K18 come in?
