Loreng YON 32 Camouflage

Brimob JON-32-PARA / YON 32 or the Parachute Battalion 32 unique brushstroke jacket. Heavily inspired from the British Denison camouflage.

When Tjakrabirawa regiment disbanded in 1966, the ex-battalion returned to Brimob (but separated from Menpor) and dubbed themself Battalion 32. Fast forward to June 1967, when opening a new Brimob Training Center at Watukosek, the first unit qualifying jumps were conducted at Halim Airbase Jakarta, then renamed Parachute Battalion 32.

The only known photo of this camo:


This unit was only active for two years, from 1967-1969 before dissolution. The camouflage itself is very hard to find because of the unit size.
