It is associated with World War I ground forces of the United States Army, contemporary U.S. military drill instructors, [[state police]] forces, park rangers, [[Boy Scouts]], the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and others. It should not be confused with a campaign cap. | ||
Up through the WWI era, the campaign hat worn by American soldiers was fairly soft and the brim was often curved or folded to the wearer's liking. By the 1930s the felt was made very stiff with a permanently flat brim. Around this time it was dubbed the "Montana Peak" design, referring to the pinched crown. | Up through the WWI era, the campaign hat worn by American soldiers was fairly soft and the brim was often curved or folded to the wearer's liking.
