Talk:Green beret

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the list at the start of the article meant to be all-including? Than the German Infantry Battalions (Jäger and Panzergrenadiere) would have to be noted too. I should know as I've worn both. if it's not meant to be "complete" than the best way would be to just note those units that not only WEAR it but are CALLED after it. --87.193.20.175 23:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The section on the Finnish Coastal troops is a little outdated, someone with more knowledge should correct this. For instance, the Kotka Coastal command no longer exists.--MoRsE 21:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish coastal rangers?

The part about finnish green berets was quite limited. Not just finnish marines, but in fact pretty much ALL finnish soldiers use an green beret. So any other coloured beret than green is more an exception than a rule. And of "beret march" the tradition does not exist in some regiments.

And of the text itself, its more an introduction to finnish military forces than a good explanation on green berets in finnish army. Who needs to know about finnish coastline when talking about green berets?

So here's what i'd think of what should read there:

[edit] Finnish Army

A green beret is used by most finnish military units as standard parade headgear. In some regiments, one must take part in a "beret march" to qualify to wear a beret. Finnish air forces use a blue beret and navy a black beret.

As of special forces, finnish paratroopers are allowed to wear a red beret after their first parachute jump.
