	The Army Black Beret
		US Army advisers to Vietnamese airborne forces wore the Vietnamese maroon beret during the Vietnam War.
		The 75th Ranger Regiment and we of the post-Korean and Vietnam era who maintained the high standards and qualities demanded of those who wear the Ranger Tab had struggled for too long to be allowed to wear the beret to have it now worn by just any soldier.

	Encyclopedia: Infantry
		Infantry was the primary combat arm of the period, as a result of multiple factors, including the cultural bias toward hand-to-hand combat and the relatively limited effectiveness of ranged weapons.
		Modern-day mechanized infantry is supported by armored fighting vehicles, artillery, and aircraft, but along with light infantry, which does not use armored fighting vehicles, is still the only kind of military force that can take and hold ground, and thus remains essential to fighting wars.
		Infantry traditionally have been the main force to overrun these units in the past, and in modern combat are used to pursue enemy forces in constricted terrain (urban areas in particular), where faster forces, such as armored vehicles are incapable of going or would be exposed to ambush.
