The black beret is the headgear worn by the British Army's Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) and by all the Russian Naval Infantry (and formerly Soviet) 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.
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.
A number of navies, including the Royal Navy and Canadian Navy, actually wear black berets, although the naval colour is officially very dark blue.
The Brazilian Polícia Militar also wear the black beret.
