Black berets are not only a headdress, but also a reference to the branch of the military that wears them. This is what people call the Marines (another name, also tied to the color of the beret, is Black Death). However, in reality, not only MPs of the Russian Federation have the right to wear.
Which troops does this ammunition belong to?
The black beret is the prerogative of tank, armored and coastal troops, marines, SOBR and riot police. Wherein only Marines wear a uniform beret. The rest are allowed its technical “variation”.
Who has the right to wear such a headdress?
Such powers are vested not only in conscripts and professional military personnel, but also in reserve, retired or retired citizens. You can lose such a right by committing illegal actions that discredit military honor. This procedure is not carried out automatically or by just anyone.
The decision can be made by the commanders of the troops (district, group of forces, fleet, front), the commander-in-chief of all the country's troops, the minister of defense and his deputy.
After the relevant order comes into force, wearing a beret will be regarded as an illegal act. Administrative punishment will be applied to the violator. It cannot be avoided by people who wear the insignia of foreign troops as a joke or for any other disrespectful reason.. In other words, civilians and former military personnel who have been deprived of their status for committing acts discrediting military honor should not wear military insignia.
The punishment depends on who exactly committed the act. If you are an ordinary person, then he will have to pay a fine (1-1.5 rubles), and also hand over all his uniform items. If necessary, a search and confiscation may be assigned and carried out. A detective or other specialist of a similar profile who puts on a black beret while performing an official task will be forced to pay 1.5-2 thousand rubles. Law enforcement agencies will confiscate the items.
After what exams can I wear it?
You must prove your right to wear it by passing an examination test (consists of several stages). It is carried out at the training ground at a specially designated time, the day is appointed by the commanders. Only fighters who have demonstrated certain physical, psycho-emotional and mental abilities at the preparatory stage are allowed to submit.
Test progress:
forced march;- passing an obstacle course;
- performing sets of exercises;
- passing shooting standards;
- hand-to-hand combat.
forced march;Simple names hide complex due diligence. At the forced march stage, the fighter has to overcome water obstacles, prove himself in terrain orientation, and perform additional tasks (support and transfer of a friend, carrying out various types of introductions). At the same time, the military man is dressed in full uniform, with a backpack over his shoulders. In general, the ammunition weighs about the same as the belly of a pregnant woman in her last month (therefore, these loads are often compared).
When crossing an obstacle course, pressure is placed on the fighter. Organizers influence his senses. The desired effect is achieved by simulating and creating the noise of a real battle, as well as the use of smoke, conventional and gas bombs.
Important! If you forget or do not put on a gas mask in a timely manner, the test will be considered failed.
By the time he passed the shooting standards, the person was already pretty exhausted. If there are serious diseases of the heart and nervous system, your hands will tremble and you will not be able to pass the stage. Therefore, a black beret, among other things, is also a distinctive sign of excellent health.
The final test includes 3 sparring sessions. The opponents change after each one. Duration of 1 battle: 2 minutes.
Surviving fighters are solemnly awarded a beret. Usually it is awarded to a person with an impeccable reputation who has achieved high achievements in the military field.
What other details complement the uniform with a black beret in Russia?
To begin with, it is worth clarifying 2 fundamental points:
You cannot wear civilian clothes and a military uniform at the same time (only one);- You cannot mix the details of different troops.
You cannot wear civilian clothes and a military uniform at the same time (only one);Violation of any of these rules entails the imposition of administrative penalties, and also often becomes the cause of conflicts.
Important! Those who have served consider mixing the distinctive features of several troops as a personal insult (or insult to patriotic feelings), which sometimes becomes the cause of extremely unpleasant incidents, including beatings.
The beret itself is worn with a crease on the right side. There is a distinctive sign - a cockade and a band.
Interesting Facts
In Internet forums, some users claim that a black beret is a general military attribute (a misconception that arose in the wake of the adoption of amendments to the law on military uniforms of 2011). However, if you decide to wear it without being a Marine, tanker or riot policeman, you will be asked to do so. It’s better not to take risks and adhere to the norms of the official and widely known color separation.
Not only Russian marines wear this headdress. For example, it is part of the uniform of the Swiss Guards. At the same time, in most European countries, marine personnel wear dark blue hats (Holland) or green (Great Britain, Finland). And here American Marines abandoned both the blue and green versions, as they considered the beret to be too feminine an accessory.
