UK BAOR - Tactical Signs, 1980s, Armoured Squadrons, Mechanised Infantry Companies, 20mm

Decals for UK British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) armoured squadron mechanised infantry companies tactical signs for the 1980s.

In the 1980s, the UK modified their armoured callsigns to be all yellow and retain the different symbols for each respective squadron (e.g., A SQN is a triangle). This change simplified the callsigns and modified the numbering in hopes to make it harder for OPFOR to understand. For mechanised companies, the symbology was retained for each respective company.

Each company (A, B, C, D) has their own symbol shape. 

• 1 Troop: Starts with the number "10"
• 2 Troop: Starts with the number "20"
• Each Troop's Command Vehicles are 0A,B,C etc.
