| | Black Beret (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Under the direction of the Army Chief of Staff, General Erik Shinseki, the Army daily headgear will change to a Black Beret, effective 11 June 2001, the Army's Birthday. |
 | | Due to problems in production and assessment of the Black Beret, the initial United States Army Reserve distribution plan was halted and revised. |
 | | The beret is worn so the headband is straight on the head, one inch above the eyebrows, with the flash over the left eye and the excess material draped over to the right, down to at least the top of the ear, but no lower than the middle ear joint. |
