Képi Service de Santé des Armées

The KEPI-CTA-SANTE is a specific French military headgear for officers of the Corps Technique et Administratif (CTA) within the Army Medical Service (Service de Santé des Armées). Unlike medical doctors, who often wear a crimson velvet band, CTA officers are distinguished by a technical-administrative color scheme.

Main Specifications

• Bandeau (lower band): Dark blue (Bleu foncé).
• Turban (upper band): Garance (red) or light blue, depending on the specific model and era, but for CTA Santé, the combination with the gold "grenade" decoration is often used.
• Insignia: A gold-colored grenade flanked by two olive branches, often hand-embroidered in cannetille (gold thread).
• Ranks: The kepi is available for various ranks, from Aspirant to higher officer ranks, with the price increasing with rank (and thus the amount of gold braid). Use and Availability

These kepis are worn for ceremonial occasions and as part of the formal uniform.
