Military beret
Berets in Gabonese Army:The German "Heer" uses berets with different badges for every branch of service. The "Luftwaffe" and the "Marine" issue dark blue berets only to their ground or land combat units (called "Luftwaffensicherungstruppe" and "Marineschutzkräfte") respectively. Berets are usually worn at special ceremonies and roll calls, although units with a special "esprit de corps", especially armoured and mechanized infantry ("Panzergrenadiere") battalions, wear their berets all the time. German berets are always pulled to the right, with the badge visible over the left temple.
