What do the different color berets in the Army signify?

Thanks you the education, you all have my respect!

When I was in (73), I thought maroon belonged to the Medical Corps.

Here is a thought if the rangers are “S.F.” I can see them keeping their tan Berets but I think they should give up their blue cord. Clime to glory

Black- every soldier has one
Tan- Ranger
Maroon- Airborne
Green- Special Forces
Brown- SFAB

I served in Submarines, but I remember when they took the Black Beret from Rangers, and gave it to regular Army. If the rest of the troops were so insistent on having a beret, then give THEN the tan, and return the Black to its rightful owners.

Everyone forgetting the rainbow striped one - cavalry

Green

I wore a cab hat ! not a beret ! even though I was issued one.

Maroon-Airborne.
Tan-Rangers (formerly Rangers, and in the 70's Armored Cavalry)
Green-Special Forces.
Black-everyone else.

As you has stated, yes ymthere are other badges thst denote those things but the colored Beret except for black can only be eorn by persobnel asdigbed to the respective units. SF not currently in a SF unit don't wear the Green Beret, sane with Air Bourne, and Rangers.

I wore a dixie cup no shade from the sun

I was a spec 4 not a corporal

Rangers should have kept their black berets and the rest of the army should have been issued the tan ones

Yellow is for tankers when berets where 1st created.

Much respect to alley, all I got was a friggin baseball cap

Regular troops with no wings should have never gotten the black beret.

The pretentiousness of airborne people is astounding.

Just a question from an old, retired Navy Gunners Mate. If they are so aggravating, and it's apparent to me that they are from some of the comments I've read here, why hasn't the senior leadership made a change. Apart from Green Berets, Rangers, and Airborne, I really can't see any form of Army tradition that would cause them to want to hold on to these. Just a question from a career "dirt sailor"? Lol

Black: Look what we stole for the Rangers.

Air Assult!
