The term "Green Jackets" typically refers to the uniforms worn by members of the Royal Green Jackets, a former infantry regiment of the British Army. Established in 1958, the regiment was known for its distinctive green jackets, which symbolized its role in light infantry operations. The regiment was involved in various conflicts and peacekeeping missions around the world. In 2006, the Royal Green Jackets merged with other regiments to form the Rifles, continuing the legacy of the green uniform. The green jacket remains a symbol of the regiment's history and the values of adaptability and resilience in military service.
