	Beret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Berets are worn by many military and police units, and in some countries are particularly associated with elite units, who often wear berets in more unusual colours (such as the maroon of the British Parachute Regiment or the green of the American Special Forces).
		Berets were first worn in the Canadian Army in 1937 when tank regiments (at that time part of the infantry) adopted the black beret of the Royal Armoured Corps.
		The beret is used with the Distinctive Envivornment Uniform (DEU - dress uniform) as formal headdress (especially after the move away from the forage cap in the 1990s) as well as with CADPAT clothing as garrison dress and as a form of combat dress.
