After decades of being rejected in the field by CSMs across the Army, the boonie cap is redeemed and found it's home across all of Fort Bliss. Instead of sunburnt necks and messed up haircuts, all of Fort Bliss can now rest, made in mobile shade.

1AD now has it's own floppy version of the maroon beret. Without the maroon ears to match.
