  The Army Black Beret
The fl beret was being worn by formations Army-wide, when it was approved by the Army for wear by the Ranger Regiment in 1975.
Tilley said fl was chosen for the beret because it's a standard color that has been worn in the past by soldiers in several types of units.
Prior to the US Army Rangers adopting the fl beret in the mid-1970s, it was worn by armor troops at Fort Knox, Ky., and by those in armored cavalry units.

 Stars and Stripes: Analysis: Study shows 41% drop in number of black Army recruits since 2000
The Army’s wartime recruiting challenge is aggravated by a sharp drop in fl enlistments over the last four years, which internal Army and Defense Department polls trace to an unpopular war in Iraq and concerns among fls with Bush administration policies.
The Army is straining to meet recruiting goals in part because the number of fl volunteers has fallen 41 percent — from 23.5 percent of recruits in fiscal 2000 down steadily to 13.9 percent in the first four months of fiscal 2005.
Because fls are 14 percent of all recruit-age youth, their recruiting numbers remain “acceptable,” said Rochelle, proportional to fls in society.

 Steady Drop in Black Army Recruits (washingtonpost.com)
The percentage of new Army recruits who are fl has slipped dramatically over the past five years, reflecting a lack of support among African Americans for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as an economy that is providing more enticing options at home, according to Army studies, military experts and recruiters.
Army studies and experts have concluded that part of the decline in African American numbers is the unpopularity of the war in Iraq among fls, combined with realities that officials say make recruiting tougher among all groups: the virtual guarantee of long deployments overseas, and widely publicized casualties.
According to an Army advertising study by the research firm Millward Brown last year, women were less likely to join in part because they are finding service less important to their lives and seeing combat as a deterrent.
