Question to anyone who may know. I want to do a custom Stalker in a Desert environment uni, and I would like to know what is the proper colors for his beret. Does the color of the beret change with the color of the uniform, or is it consistently the same color? I've seen him wear a green one with a yellow patch, a green one with a red patch, and a black beret too. The uniform color I'm going with is a very light OD green/gray. I'm not too familiar with the myriad distinctions and such, but I know he's a Ranger and I'd like to pair him with Beachhead and some of my Navy SEALs in a Joint Spec Ops team. Thanks!

The berets in the U.S. Army have to do with what job that person has, for instance Stalker being a Ranger in todays military would wear a tan beret. A service member in an airborne unit would usually wear a maroon beret. Special Forces wear green. The environment (snow,desert,etc) that a Service member is in has nothing to do with the beret that he or she would wear and for the most part berets are only worn in a garrison setting not in the field or combat. I say use what ever color works best for you. You could come up with any number of back stories as to why a certain character is wearing a certain color. Its G.I.Joe, the dress code is out the window for these folks.

Well since real military don't wear berets in battle, but Stalker does, I guess it doesn't really matter what color it is. I probably just paint it to match his uni. Does the patch color matter all that much though?

Beret flash would be unit-specific, so yeah, it matters. You should be able to do what they call a "subdued" version, though.
Generally some combination of black, brown, tan or olive drab. |
