Green beret is one color of the military beret and has been a component of the uniforms of many armed forces throughout the world since the mid-20th century. Military berets are usually pushed to the right to free the shoulder that bears the rifle on most soldiers, but the armies of some countries, mostly Europe, South America and Iran have influenced the push to the left. It is also the official headdress of the British Commandos of the Second World War.
The green beret is also famously worn by members of the United States Army Special Forces, and is hence the colloquial name of the military unit.
