Beret Colours

Army/Land

The standard army beret colour is green. This beret is worn by every soldier of the land enviroment unless they wear a different headress (by virtue of thier regiment) or unless one of the following exceptions applies:

• Soldiers of an Armoured occupation and soldiers posted to Armoured units will wear Black Berets.
• Airborne or Paratroop soldiers (while serving in a parachute unit or sub-unit) will wear a Maroon Beret.
• Soldiers employed in the Special Operations Force will wear a Tan Beret.
• The Military Police wear a Red Beret.

Prior to unification, there were a great variety of different beret colours and regiments often had thier own colour. This is no longer the case.
