The "beret" is one of the international standard clothing commonly used by officers and soldiers of various countries in combat and training. Because some world-famous special forces have long worn berets of fixed colors, they have become a symbol. Beret, military uniform, its name is transliterated from English Breat. The history of the beret can be traced back to the 15th century, when shepherds in southwestern France liked to wear a round soft hat made of brown wool. This kind of hat can be worn on the head to protect from wind and rain, taken off to wipe sweat, and placed on the ground as a cushion. Later, the Basques on the border of France and Spain also began to wear this kind of hat, and it was called "Basque beret". The first army in history to wear berets was the British army. As early as World War I, some officers and soldiers of the British expeditionary force sent to the European continent wore berets. But it was during World War II that berets really shined. At that time, in order to carry out military penetration and destruction into the fascist-occupied European continent, the United Kingdom began to form special operations forces. In 1940 the first paratrooper unit was formed. In 1942, the United Kingdom established the Airborne Special Forces and the Royal Marines Special Boat Unit. Their uniforms all have berets as the most visible symbol, and the different colors of the berets have become the distinguishing mark of these troops.

Green Berets

Following the United Kingdom, in July 1942, the United States established a special forces with the Green Berets as its iconic clothing. Since then, different special forces in many countries have adopted the method of wearing different colored berets to distinguish them. The beret is a flat, brimmed soft standard military cap, usually used as a symbol of the imaginary enemy troops, special forces and airborne troops of some countries. The beret has the advantages of being easy to fold, not afraid of being squeezed, easy to carry, and beautiful. It can also be covered with a helmet from the outside. The famous general Field Marshal Montgomery often wore a beret during World War II, and he also uniquely wore two cap badges, general and armored. Some countries distinguish different arms mainly by color. For example, the imaginary enemy troops of the US military wear black berets, the special forces wear green berets, and the airborne troops wear red berets. Except for the different colors, the berets of each branch of the military have the same style, and they are all uniform military products.

Black berets

The imaginary enemy troops of the US military wear black berets, and on the berets are pinned the red stars of the former Soviet Union and the badges and badges of the early British MK1 combat troops. Wearing the new three-color desert tiger pattern camouflage uniforms and red stars on the shoulder straps, this is the uniform of the officers and soldiers of the 117th Brigade of the U.S. Army. It is the US military's best imaginary enemy force in the world. This special "combat" unit has strong combat capabilities and can most closely imitate various combat operations of the former Soviet army. It can be ready for combat needs at any time and play the role of "enemy army".

Blue Berets

So far, the United Nations has dispatched nearly 40 peacekeeping forces and military observers to various regions around the world and made due contributions to maintaining world and regional peace. However, the world's hegemonic countries, headed by the United States, often use the banner of the United Nations to carry out force "peacekeeping" against weak regions and ethnic groups, which seriously violates the purpose of the "blue helmets". Therefore, the current peacekeeping forces have become the United States' "peacekeeping force" in disguise. Foreign troops".

Red Berets

The officers and soldiers of the British Army's "Red Devil" unit of the Royal Army's 5th Air Mobility Brigade all wear a red beret, so people call it For the "Red Devil" unit.

All recruits entering the Parachute Regiment must complete parachuting from a balloon during 16 weeks of basic training.
