French Beret Parachute Regiment

In the French Army, the beret of the Troupes de Marine (TDM) is instantly recognizable by its specific colors and historical emblem:

1. Color of the beret

• Dark blue (Bleu foncé): This is the standard color for most Troupes de Marine units, such as the infantry (RIMa) and artillery (RAMa).
• Red (Amarante): Soldiers of the Parachute Regiments of the Marine (RPIMa) wear the red beret, which is the standard for almost all French airborne units.

2. The emblem (L'insigne de béret)

The emblem is made of gold-colored metal and contains the following symbolism:

• The disabled anchor (L’ancre de marine): An anchor with a rope wrapped around it. This is the historical symbol of the colonial troops and refers to their amphibious heritage and overseas deployments.

The Troupes de Marine are part of the French Army (Armée de Terre), but this anchor emblem retains their strong historical ties to maritime and overseas traditions.
