WW2 US Army Cavalry Tropical Garrison Cap

The WW2 US Army Cavalry Tropical Garrison Cap is a military headgear item issued to cavalry personnel during World War II for use in warm or tropical climates. This cap features a lightweight, khaki-colored fabric designed to provide comfort and practicality in hot environments. The streamlined foldable design allowed for easy storage when not in use. The cap typically bears branch-specific piping, with yellow denoting cavalry units, and may include a sewn-in label or interior markings indicating manufacturer details and size. It was part of the broader Army tropical uniform and was worn both on base and in the field as a component of standard issue equipment. The garrison cap’s design reflects the Army’s emphasis on function and adaptability during overseas deployments in theaters such as North Africa and the Pacific. This item is representative of mid-20th-century U.S. military uniform development and usage.
