The Egyptian Army uses a British Army Style ceremonial outfit, and a desert camouflage overall implemented in 2012.[1] The Identification between different branches in the Egyptian Army depends on the branch insignia on the left upper arm and the color of the beret. Also, the airborne, Thunderbolt, and republican guard each has its own camouflage overall.
