Updated Army Service Dress project

[ueo]

In colours to match the camp flag, for the former, and of a pattern, or with an adornment, to compliment the collar dogs for the latter.

All available in the kit shop at an entirely reasonable rate.

What not CANEX, never saw them miss a chance to inflate prices on mil gear!

Interesting times for the Army.


"CCA’s direction was that the beret will remain the standard CA headdress and that Army Blue will become the default colour save for speciality colours of rifle green, black, khaki, maroon, and tan. These new berets will be rolled out sometime starting in 2027 as part of the new service dress initiative."

Rifle green - infantry minus guards regiments?
Black - armour
Khaki - guards?
Maroon - jump
Tan - SOF.

That looks right at least. Any other possibilities?

I'm only tracking the "RCIC" part of this:

"To finalize the direction on this, DG Army Ops intends to have the Army G1 draft a note for CCA signature authorizing beret/headdress for each Infantry Regiment. The Corps has created a live register at the link below. I would ask that you go on the register and fill in the three yellow boxes confirming concurrence with the proposed headdress, rationale if you propose something different and your name/position. As well, in the “Corps Flag / Point du Corps” please add a note on any unique aspects of the headdress that should be noted (hackle, etc)."

This is just what I am seeing. (Just a copy and paste).

That's how it currently works. Infantry berets are changing.

From what I've heard, green will be light infantry units, everyone else will be khaki or blue, with blue being the default unless they historically wore khaki berets. PPCLI will stay green, RCR will go khaki and 22 will be blue.

GGFG and Grenadiers will be situation no change with khaki and camp flash. Everyone else in khaki will not have a flash.

Not sure what's happening with combat engineers, presumably they're switching to blue as well.

I hope there's enough room to add the four or five different items of headdress worn by Scottish/ Irish regiments.

Or did the Army G1 forget about that?
