Transformers Movie Reviews (Redskins Jersey Seen in Movie)

[KLHJ2]

Looking at the pictures I couldnt help but notice that the Air Force was sportin a Red and a Maroon Beret. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Hollywood Sucks! Only Army Airborne wear the maroon, and nobody in the US military wears red.

They won't get into trouble for impersonating soldiers, that is for sure!

No Special Ops wears Green. Maroon is designated for Airborne. Ranger wear Tan and ever other pogue wears black. (ALL Army)

Air Force Special Ops wears Either a Dark Blue or a Black I cannot recall right now.

Marines and Navy do not wear Berets.

USAF para-rescue (maroon beret):

so that's not only for army airborne. CC's in the USAF wear scarlet berets, so saying no one uses them isn't really correct either. BOTH AFSC's are considered special ops.

United States

Berets were originally worn by elite forces in the United States Army. Hence, there was controversy when in 2001 the United States Army adopted the black beret, previously reserved for the Rangers, as standard headgear for all army units.[11] The Rangers are now distinguished by tan berets. The United States Army Special Forces are generally known as "green berets" for the colour of their headgear. Soldiers in special operations units wear distinctive organisational flashes. Conventional forces wear a pale blue flash with thirteen white stars. Officers wear their rank emblem within the flash, while enlisted ranks wear their regimental unit insignia. United States Army units can be distinguished by the colour of their berets, as follows:

• Jungle green — Special Forces, JFK Special Warfare School
• Tan — 75th Ranger Regiment, Ranger Training Brigade
• Maroon — paratroopers and all other Airborne units except 101st Airborne Division, other special operators (Civil Affairs, PSYOP) on jump status or under an airborne unit. Soldiers do not have to be jump qualified to wear the maroon beret
• Black — all other Army units

The wearing of berets in the United States Air Force is less common, but several career fields are authorised to wear berets of specific colours, as follows:

• Scarlet — Combat Controllers
• Maroon — Pararescue
• Navy blue — Security Forces
• Black — Tactical Air Control Party
• Pewter grey — Special Operations Weather Technicians
• Grey — Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape
• Academy blue — First Class (Senior) Academy Cadets

Black berets are authorised as an optional-wear item for women E1-E9 in the United States Navy.
