The black beret is the headgear worn by the British Army's Royal Tank Regiment 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 Norwegian Panserbataljonen (armour) and E-bataljonen (intelligence) also wear black berets.

It's also used by brazilian military police.
