The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade was a regiment of the British Army formed in 1800 and continues today as the Royal Greenjackets. The Rifle Brigade was formed as an experimental infantry regiment of sharpshooters, skirmishers, and scouts. The regiment developed a green uniform with black facings so they stood out less than the traditional 'red coat' of British infantry.
