Previously maroon beret was also experimented and even reversible (green to camo) "multi-purpose" berets were produced, but the standardization started on the 1975 military parade. In 1982 military secondary school students were issued with green berets too, while in 1987 River Force troopers received dark blue beret. After the collapse of the communism the beret as "mark of the elite trooper" received more and more popularity among soldiers. Light green (with border guard's badge) berets were issued for Border Guard reaction forces between 1990 and 2007. The berets of Hungarian forces were made first in "eastern-european style" (like worn by most Warsaw Pact armies), sewn together from 4 pieces. After 1993 "western style" one-piece berets were adopted. </p><p>Berets currently in Hungarian military: </p> <ul><li>Black (with tank troops' badge) – Armoured Units</li> <li>Black (with – battalion number – numbered oak leaf badge) – Territorial Voluntary Reserve Forces</li> <li>Black (with anchor badge) – River Forces</li> <li>Scarlet red (with MP badge) – Military Police</li> <li>Scarlet red (with artillery or AA badge) – Artillery, Anti-Aircraft Artillery</li> <li>Rifle green (with paratroops badge) – Paratroopers, Long-range recons, Field recons</li> <li>Rifle green (with engineer's badge) – Engineers</li> <li>Rifle green (with infantry badge) – Infantry (only in foreign missions)</li> <li>Dark brown (with infantry badge) – Guard Battalion Special Team (only in the 2000s, discontinued)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tan_beret" title="Tan beret">Tan</a> (with special operation's badge) – 2nd "Vitéz Bertalan Árpád" Special Operations Brigade</li> <li>Maroon (carmine red) (with LC badge) – Logistic Corps (issued in 2020)</li></ul> <p>Except these, mission-type berets were/are used in international peacekeeping missions (UN blue, EBECS yellow, MFO brick red etc.) worn.

/></a><figcaption>Ukrainian national guard, 2020</figcaption></figure> <p>In the Ukrainian army, the tradition of wearing a beret in uniform begins in 1991 - after the collapse of the USSR. In many respects, the young army imitated and actually continued the traditions of the Soviet Army, in particular, the Airborne Assault Troops and the Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wore the corresponding berets of blue and black colours. The situation changed radically after the beginning of the hybrid war against Russia starting in 2014, when the society, and in particular the Ukrainian servicemen, fundamentally revised their attitude towards the eastern neighbour and their recent past.

the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>. The first were worn during World War II, when a battalion of the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment were presented maroon berets by their British counterparts.<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Though unofficial at first, the green beret of the <a href="/wiki/US_Army_Special_Forces" class="mw-redirect" title="US Army Special Forces">US Army Special Forces</a> was formally adopted in 1961. Maroon airborne and black <a href="/wiki/75th_Ranger_Regiment" title="75th Ranger Regiment">US Army Ranger</a> berets were formally authorized in the 1970s. </p><p>"D" Troop <a href="/wiki/17th_Cavalry_Regiment_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="17th Cavalry Regiment (United States)">17th Cavalry</a> were authorized a maroon beret in Vietnam.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the Vietnam War, morale in the US Army waned. In response, from 1973 through 1979 HQDA permitted local commanders to encourage morale-enhancing uniform distinctions; however, these distinctions were allowed to be worn only on the post. Consequently, many units embraced various colored berets, for example armor and armored cavalry units often adopted the black beret. Similarly many other units embraced various colored berets in an attempt to improve dwindling morale. In particular, the First Cavalry Division assigned various colored berets to its three-pronged TRICAP approach. In this implementation, armored cavalry, airmobile infantry units, air cavalry units, division artillery units, and division support units all wore different colored berets, including black, light blue, Kelly green, and red. The 101st Airborne Division was authorised a dark-blue beret. </p><p>In 1975 all female soldiers of the <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_Army_Corps" title="Women's Army Corps">Women's Army Corps</a> were authorized to wear a black beret variant as standard headgear for the service uniform.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1975 the 172nd Light Infantry Brigade at Fort Richardson and Fort Wainwright, Alaska, wore olive-drab berets. </p><p>In 2001, Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki ordered the black beret worn as standard headgear army-wide, a controversial decision because it was previously reserved for the rangers. The rangers were then authorized to wear a tan beret, exclusive to them. The decision was implemented in hopes of boosting morale among conventional units. However, many soldiers began complaining that the new black beret was not practical with the utility uniform. In June 2011, Army Secretary John McHugh, acting on the recommendations made by Chief of Staff <a href="/wiki/Martin_Dempsey" title="Martin Dempsey">Martin Dempsey</a> and Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond F. Chandler, once again chose the traditional patrol cap to be worn with the utility uniform. The black beret may be authorized with utility uniforms at commander's discretion for special ceremonies. The beret remains part of the Army's dress uniform for all units. </p><p>United States Army berets now use the following distinctive colors: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>US Army </caption> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="2">Color</th> <th>Wearer </th></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#000;"></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Black_beret" title="Black beret">Black</a></td> <td>Worn by all soldiers with the Army Service Uniform as standard headgear (The <a href="/wiki/Patrol_cap" title="Patrol cap">patrol cap</a> is the standard headgear with utility uniforms such as the ACUs; however, the black beret may be authorized with utility uniforms at commander discretions.<sup id="cite_ref-75" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-75"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#00230D; width:2em;"></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Green_beret" title="Green beret">Rifle green</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Special_Forces_(United_States_Army)" class="mw-redirect" title="Special Forces (United States Army)">Special-forces</a>-qualified soldiers </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:tan;"></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tan_beret" title="Tan beret">Tan</a></td> <td>Soldiers assigned to the <a href="/wiki/75th_Ranger_Regiment" title="75th Ranger Regiment">75th Ranger Regiment</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Ranger_School" title="Ranger School">Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade</a> (Soldiers that have served one consecutive year in the regiment and are assigned to a <a href="/wiki/USASOC" class="mw-redirect" title="USASOC">USASOC</a> component may continue to wear the tan beret.) </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:maroon;"></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Maroon_beret" title="Maroon beret">Maroon</a></td> <td>Soldiers assigned to airborne/parachute units </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background: SaddleBrown;"></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Brown" title="Brown">Brown</a></td> <td>Soldiers assigned to the <a href="/wiki/Security_Force_Assistance_Command" title="Security Force Assistance Command">Security Force Assistance Command</a> and its subordinate units </td></tr> <tr> <td style="background:#696880;"></td> <td>Dark grey</td> <td>Army <a href="/wiki/Junior_Reserve_Officers%27_Training_Corps" title="Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps">Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps</a> (AJROTC) cadets<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>76<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Special forces, ranger, and airborne unit berets sport <a href="/wiki/US_military_beret_flash" class="mw-redirect" title="US military beret flash">distinctive organizational flashes</a>.

It was first introduced under "Army Council Instruction 1407" of September 1943. This cap was designed to replace the "Field Service cap" or "FS Cap" that had been worn since the outbreak of war. These caps were issued in priority to units serving overseas. UK based units got theirs later on. It was at first unpopular due to its over large appearance. This cap was not a beret. It was made from several pieces of drab cloth material, whereas a beret was a one piece item. It was based on the Scottish <a href="/wiki/Balmoral_bonnet" title="Balmoral bonnet">balmoral bonnet</a> in design. First issues were made from the same gaberdine cloth as the old "FS" cap. <a href="/wiki/Cap_badge#British_Army" title="Cap badge">Badges</a> worn on it were the conventional officers' bronze, and <a href="/wiki/British_Army_other_ranks_rank_insignia" title="British Army other ranks rank insignia">ORs'</a> badges in both plastic and metal. Units which had special distinctions could still wear these on the "GS" cap. The General Service cap was worn by regulation one inch above the eyebrows, with the badge over the left eye and the cap pulled down to the right. But many wartime photos will show it worn pushed back on the head, which seemed to be a fashion with many soldiers late in the war. </p><p>Officers could only obtain the cap upon repayment to the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Army_Ordnance_Corps" title="Royal Army Ordnance Corps">RAOC</a>. They were not allowed to buy the cap until their unit had been issued with it wholesale. Higher ranking officers often got away with wearing a khaki beret, which was against regulations.
