Australian Army
Maroon berets are worn by paratroopers in the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment and A Field Battery or any soldiers within the Airborne Battle Group (Transport, Catering, Medical etc.). Previously also by the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, however this was replaced by the tan beret (sometimes referred to as the sandy beret).

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or army:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
