You know, for a brief time, Armor and Cavalry troopers wore the black beret. I wore one at Ft. Knox. In most nations, armor wears the black beret. But the Rangers complained about it, so we had to quit wearing them. Now the Rangers have tan berets and the whole darned Army wears black berets. Personally, I prefer the patrol cap, which is nothing but the old Korean War era fatique cap that the Rangers called a patrol cap. I like the boonie hat even better. Or, as the Army officially calls it, "Hat, Sun, Hot weather, type II". Not too good with Class A uniform. A Stetson would be nice for that, if you're cavalry.
