Four:

  • Green: Worn only by qualified Special Forces personnel serving in Special Forces groups. Personnel assigned to SF groups who are not Special Forces wear the maroon beret.
  • Tan: Worn by the Army Rangers. Replaced the black beret in 2001, when Gen. Shinseki made black berets standard for the entire Army. Worn by ALL personnel assigned to Ranger units, whether they are Rangers or not.
  • Maroon: Worn by Airborne units on active jump status.
  • Black: a.k.a., the "leg beret" or the "Shinseki Special". Formerly exclusive to the Rangers, the black beret was made standard headgear for the entire Army in 2001 (causing the Rangers to switch to a tan beret). It was recently announced that the black beret would no longer be worn with the ACU uniform, but would remain standard headgear for the Class A uniform.

Why does the British Army wear berets?

It was part of General Eric Shinsheki's vision of the Army for the 21st Century, or at least that's the official take on it. It's supposed to symbolize a transformation of the Army, build morale, and so forth. All it really accomplished was to put a bunch of legs in berets, so that they can wear them more like pizza hats than military berets.
