The black beret is the headgear worn by the British Army's Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) and by all the Russian (and formerly Soviet) Naval infantry and some Russian Spetsnaz units, among others. It was also formerly worn by the U.S. Army Rangers, and is now worn by all United States Army troops without a different distinctive beret, the Rangers now wearing tan berets. It is traditionally associated with armoured or special forces troops.
The most famous wearer of the beret was Field Marshal Montgomery, who wore an RTR beret complete with badge which had been presented to him by the RTR, to which he added his own General's (later Field Marshal's) cap badge.
The Norwegian Panserbataljonen (armour) and E-bataljonen (intelligence) also wear black berets and it is also used by Brazilian military police.
Tactical Air Control Party and Security Forces members of the United States Air Force also wear black berets with a distinctive flash and crest design.
