    Simple question for the group from a new user. Does anyone know what beret the SWA Special Forces Recces used? Thanks

    Hi Patriot6,

    Yes they wore the standard SWATF beret with a Gemsbok badge and infantry 'Balkie" - they very purposely did not want to stand out in any way, so stuck with the bog standard infantry look.
