All U.S. Army soldiers including the clerks and the cooks and not just 
Special Forces commandos and Rangers will get to wear berets under a 
morale-building move to be announced by the Army command today.

In a speech set to be delivered this afternoon, Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, the 
Army chief of staff, will tell an Army convention that this "symbol of 
excellence" once reserved for members of elite units will be made available 
to all soldiers as "a signal to the young that we are moving, we are 
changing."

Shinseki previewed his speech in an interview, saying the details of the new 
uniform code are still to be worked out and will not go into effect until 
next June.

What color berets?
