Typically, the ACU is worn with the Advanced Combat Helmet, a patrol cap, or a boonie hat and/or fleece cap as appropriate in winter months.
The patrol cap is a kepi-styled straight-sided, flat-topped soft cap, with a double thick bill and internal pocket.
When in garrison, the maroon, tan, brown, and green berets may be worn by paratroopers, rangers, advisors, and special forces respectively.
The green micro fleece cap is authorized for field and garrison use outside of unit PT, per local command.
A name tape is worn on the back of the patrol cap.
Sew-on rank is recommended but pin-on rank is authorized on the ACU Patrol Cap and ACU Boonie Hat.
The MICH (Modular Integrated Communications Helmet) Camouflage cover rank must be sewn on if worn but is often not used as the night vision device mount would obstruct it.
