beret

The soft military hat without eaves is usually used as the personnel symbol of special forces, special forces and airborne troops in some countries. Beret is easy to fold, not afraid of squeezing, easy to carry, beautiful and so on, and it is also very convenient to wear a helmet. Marshal Montgomery, a famous general, often wore a beret in World War II. He also wore two caps, the General and the Armored Forces. Some countries mainly distinguish different arms by color. For example, American rangers wear black berets, special forces wear green berets, and airborne troops wear maroon berets. Berets of various services and arms are the same in style except for their different colors, and they all belong to uniform goods. The United States set up a special force in World War II because its members wore green berets, commonly known as "green berets". This unit is composed of some adventurous volunteers who have been specially trained and engaged in special tasks and actions. It was once famous for The Devil's Journey. United Nations peacekeeping forces wear blue berets. There are clear requirements for wearing berets. If the US military requires wearing berets, the hat ring should be placed on the forehead, 1 inch higher than the eyebrows, the top of the hat should be tilted in the direction of the right ear, and the hard lining should be located directly above the left eye. Berets can only be worn when wearing uniforms, combat uniforms and work clothes. When wearing uniforms and berets, you can wear combat boots and tighten your trouser legs. [Edit this paragraph] Berets in the army Many armies in the world have used berets as part of their uniforms since the mid-20th century. The earliest army was the French Chasseur Alpin in the early 1980s. The top of military berets is generally to the right, and a few European countries are to the left.

The advantages of beret as a military uniform are: cheap and easy to mass produce; Distinguish different troops with multiple colors; It is convenient to pack or put in the pocket, and does not hinder the use of headphones. The last point is very important for soldiers in armored vehicles. The disadvantage is that there is no edge, which can't cover the sun and wind and rain.
