Trivia
- This type of hat, also known as a campaign hat, is still worn today by army drill sergeants, park rangers, and various law enforcement officers, most notably state troopers and Texas Rangers
- Although the hat mostly resembles Sergeant Hartman's hat from the film Full Metal Jacket, Gerre has stated in an interview that he made the hat for the Soldier because it fit his personality. It also bears a slight similarity to the hat worn by Dwight T. Barnes and Sharpe from Half-Life: Opposing Force.
- A BLU version of this hat was released by Gerre but the normal, green version was the version accepted by Valve.[1]
- This item is one of two contributed items made by Gerre, the other being the Physician's Procedure Mask.
