I understand that troops serving on UN Missions wear their national uniforms. These can include turbans in the case of troops, such as some of those serving in the Indian defence forces, for whom the turban is authorised as part of their national uniform. To signify that troops are part of a UN operation their headgear, irrespective of its type, is blue.
