Tan: Rangers, these are your light infantry special ops, armed with a sidearm or just an assault rifle like a black beret is. Green: Special Forces commando qualified or considered soldiers, these are land troops with advanced training in things like night operations, stealth, renaissance, marksmanship, camoflauge, and survivial techniques. Maroon: Airborne, parachutists and halo jumpers, some have training in foreign weaponry. Hope this helps
