Brigade Franco-Allemande

The Franco-German Brigade (Brigade Franco-Allemande / Deutsch-Französische Brigade) is a unique bi-national unit where soldiers wear the beret colors of their own country and branch of arms, but are united by a common beret emblem.

Characteristics of the Beret

• Beret Color: There is no specific "Franco-German beret color." French soldiers wear their national berets (e.g., black for infantry), while German soldiers wear their own colors (e.g., coral red for infantry or green for Jäger units).
• Common Emblem: The beret emblem depicts a shield with the flags of France and Germany merging into one another.

Wearing:

There is a slight difference in the design of the emblem:

The French version is worn with the blue, white, and red colors of the French flag at the top.
The German version has the black, red, and gold colors of the German flag at the top.

Symbolism

Wearing this shared emblem on the national beret symbolizes the close cooperation and shared European identity within the brigade. The unit is stationed at bases in both countries, such as Müllheim, Germany.
