Green beret
U.S. Special Forces wear the green beret as a distinction of excellence and uniqueness within the Army.
New Zealand Army
In recent years, a number of distinctive New Zealand features have appeared, while at the same time corps and regimental distinctions have been reduced in favor of standardised items of dress for reasons of supply rationalization and economy. Until 2002, berets were in various colours according to branch or unit. Since then, under a "one beret" policy, rifle-green has become the universal colour for this headdress, except for the tan beret of the New Zealand Special Air Service and the blue beret of the New Zealand Defence Force Military Police. On overseas service, a New Zealand flag badge and a white Kiwi on a circular black field with the words "New Zealand" are worn.
