Camouflage became an essential part of modern military tactics after the
increase in accuracy and rate of fire of weapons during the 19th century.
Despite camouflage's demonstrated value, until the 20th century, armies tended
to use bright colours and bold, impressive designs. These were intended to
daunt
the enemy, foster unit cohesion, allow easier identification of units in the
fog of war, and attract recruits. Not until these uniforms covered the bodies
of men
in long windrows across the battlefield was there a clear pressure for
change.
In biological terms, camouflage is often referred to as cryptic coloration,
which means concealed or disguised in appearance. Typically, an animal, bird
or
insect will have a colour or pattern of coloration which blends in well with
the visual appearance of its habitat, thereby making it hard to be seen by
predators.
The hides used by birdwatchers and photographers to get close to wildlife also
utilise camouflage and thereby represent a very real way in which people
mimic,
and learn from, the natural processes of evolution.
