Moroccan Regulars (aka Fuerzas Regulares Indígenas)

Recruited in Morocco and officered by Spaniards, the Regulares were all volunteers, brave to the point of fearlessness, and represented the best troops on the Nationalist side. Though recruitment in Morocco continued throughout the war, the Regulares took heavy losses in the battles for Madrid, decimating their ranks. These troops possess excellent stealth capabilities their ascribed ability to use so called "dead ground".

Note the use of Fez ("tarbouchs") and turbans ("rexa") as main head garments. Also very characteristic is the wide belt or Faja, carried under the leather belt.

These troops frequently used other moorish garments such as the "chilaba", a distinctive cape with a large pointed hood called a “chilaba”, and the “djellabah”, a calf-length overcoat striped in tribal colours.

Uniforms used to be lentil coloured, with some pieces in greenish-tinged khaki or native colors (eg brown with white stripes). Shirts used to be cream coloured (linen color).
