Modern-Style Historic Standards

All the grants of unit standards made in the last ten years follow a standard pattern. For combat units identified with a particular arm of service (battalions, squadrons, groups, batteries, companies, regiments, brigades, divisions), the field is solid in the color of the arm of service:

green for infantry (including army police)
white for cavalry and tank units
ultramarine blue (azul-ultramar) for artillery
sky-blue (azul-celeste) for communications
turquoise (azul-turquesa) for engineers

with the coat of arms or distinctive insignia on the center and the "historic denomination" in gold block letters in arcs above and below. Larger organizations (such as military regions) and schools have slightly more complex but still standardized designs.
