Currently the only Army approved berets are black, maroon, and tan so they'd have to approve the brown.
I only spent seven years in the infantry many years ago but not Wiki, Google or I have heard of a infant brown beret. British, Canadians, and some others wear distinctive unit berets.
I only went halfway through this list but found few brown berets.

Brown Infantry Beret? If he means the tan beret, here we go again.bblhd672 wrote:Apparently the Army got the message:
1st Security Force Assistance Brigade
The 1st SFAB has great respect for U.S. Army Special Forces, their many accomplishments and their singularly distinguished history. We also respect the concerns associated with the heraldry of the 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade.
The 1st SFAB is not a Special Forces organization. We are a conventional force purposefully built to partner with other conventional forces. SFABs will support Army readiness by allowing brigade combat teams to focus on building their readiness for large scale contingencies instead of on the train, advise and assist missions.
In accordance with Army guidance, we will select a new unit name. The Army has also decided the SFABs will wear a Brown Infantry Beret like those worn by many armies. Our new name and photos of the beret will be published once the final decisions are approved.
Thank you for your support as we establish the identity and culture of the #1SFAB.
