**Amoeba**
Official Name	(?)
Years Used	(?)
Used By	Legion, Army Special Forces
Notes	One of the most unique patterns I have ever seen, not to mention owned, is the Spanish Amoeba pattern. This pattern was in use from 1962 until 1982, whereupon it was replaced by a Woodland pattern (see below). There are possibly as many as 6 variations. The most common is a two piece reversible suit using the green and Rocoso (Rocks) patterns, which are the first two shots above. The suit is made from a thin cloth nearly canvas material made very stiff and kinda tacky from the printing inks. The Para version consists of a single sided jacket in either Green or Rocks, with reversible trousers from Green to Rocks.

**Green Amoeba**
Official Name	(?)
Years Used	1970s (?)
Used By	Legion
Notes	Although nearly the same as the Green side of the reversible uniform (above), this pattern has a different look to it because it is printed on a thick cotton cloth, not thin canvas. I am told this is one of the rarest of Legion uniforms, being issued only for a very short period of time along side the more "common" Rocoso (Rocks) in identical cut. The Green Amoeba uniform is cut in the same pattern as 1960s and 1970s Spanish Army uniforms.

**Amoeba Scarf**
Official Name	(?)
Years Used	1990s (?) - Current (?)
Used By	Legion
Notes	For formal occasions the Spanish soldiers wear a scarf with a bright color on it relating to their unit. The Legion's scarfs are two pieces of light nylon sewn together. On one side there is the ceremonial color and on the other a rendition of their traditional camouflage pattern. I have three different colored scarfs like this and the camo side is the same for all three.

**6 Color Desert**
Official Name	(?)
Years Used	(?)
Used By	Army, Legion
Known Items	Shirt, Trousers, Boonie, Cap, Sand Scarf, LBV
Notes	The Spanish forces use a variation of US 6 Color Desert pattern for desert operations. The pattern itself is identical to the US version, but about 80% the size. I am not sure how wide spread the use of this uniform was with Spanish forces, but I do know that it appears to be the standard combat uniform for Legion troops in desert areas. Recently Spanish Marines have employed a new desert uniform that appears to be based on their temperate one. I have cap, shirt, and trousers for Legion troops. I know there is also a boonie, sand scarf, and equipment holders made in this pattern.

**Amoeba Tent Pole Bags**
Official Name	(?)
Years Used	(?)
Used By	(?)
Notes	One of my good sources in Spain stumbled upon these very rare tent pole bags. They are similar patterns, but if you look closely they aren't the same as each other or the Amoeba patterns more familiar to collectors. They are also reversible, which indicates the cloth was not intended just for these bags. My best guess is that there once were shelter quarters or tents in this pattern. Shame we don't have more examples of this to look at!

Known Items	Shirt, Trousers, Coat
Notes	This suit is generally known as Sahara, but it's use with Spanish forces is questionable. Produced in Germany, there is no evidence I know of to suggest it was ever used by the Spanish. It is based heavily on the WWII SS Oakleaf style camo and is even manufactured in Germany.
