Military tradition

Subsequently, major political and social changes have tended to break-down the historical continuity that had been a source of military tradition in many armies.

Since the late 1960s, a series of regimental mergers and disbandments have diluted British military tradition, although it still remains strong in the Guards Division.

North African units like the Zouaves, the Turcos, the French Foreign Legion, or even the Mamelukes which served in Napoleon Bonaparte's Imperial Guard developed distinctive styles of dress.

In the United States, military tradition can refer simply to a father-son relationship or a much longer, ancestors-long line.
