UK BAOR - Tactical Signs, 1980s, Armoured Squadrons, Regt RHQ and HQ, 20mm
Decals for UK British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) armoured squadron Regimental RHQ and HQ 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. RHQ and HQ units during this period had their own shape: Diamond.
