not often we see these things....
Quick question: does the Canadian SOF have support units like the maroon berets in the US Army ?
So the 160th is considered a SOF support unit ?
So really, not many people in Canada wear the maroon beret. Before the tan beret of the CSOR, the Maroon dudes were the cool kids on the block.
Although I always say:
"Mech yourself before you wreck yourself!"
I was told that if you are assigned to a SOF unit you can wear the Tan beret only if you were once assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment before you came to that unit.
I asked because I was curious as to why I saw an Officer at SOCSOUTH wearing a Tan beret (with SOCSOUTH flash) when all the others around him wore maroon or green (with SOCSOUTH flash)
I see they use Sig's. Does the whole Canadian military use this fine pistol or just SOF.
Pretty sure only SOF use'em. the reg army use the Browning 9mm pistol.
Graduate of RIP can wear the tan beret in SOF billet. Same goes for the Green beret. For picture proof look at the USASOC press releases of the current and past CGs noting their headgear.I was told that if you are assigned to a SOF unit you can wear the Tan beret only if you were once assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment before you came to that unit.
