Default United Arab Emirates Green Beret.

A UAE beret, I don't know which arm or unit wears or wore it
The green colour is similar to that of British Royal Marine Commando berets.
The band is of black leather, there are no manufacturers marks in it, a label has been removed.
The badge is of metal with a matt gold coloured finish and a vertical brooch pin fitting.
I have no further knowledge re. this beret.
Worn by infantry, commando, border police?

These were recruits putting on a drill display. They would seem to have similar berets with the same badge.

The beret belongs to the Presidential Guard Amphibious Force / Marines at Al Forsan.

Thanks for that - is the unit identified by badge or beret colour or the combination of both please?

The badge is a universal badge worn by all. Beret colour distinguishes units.
