Canadian Airborne Regiment Combat Slip-Ons Insignia Pair

The Canadian Airborne Regiment Combat Slip-Ons Insignia Pair consists of two matching cloth insignia originally worn by members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment. These slip-ons feature the distinctive maroon background with embroidered insignia, reflecting the regiment’s unique identity within the Canadian Forces. Designed to slide over the epaulettes of combat uniforms, these insignia units served to designate affiliation with the Canadian Airborne Regiment, a specialized airborne infantry formation active from 1968 to 1995. Slip-on insignia were commonly used for ease of attachment and removal, allowing for adaptability in various operational contexts. The construction typically involves durable fabric suited for field conditions, with precise stitching ensuring clear display of regimental symbols. This pair represents a specific element of Canadian military insignia used during a significant period in late 20th-century military history, illustrating both practical uniform requirements and regimental identity within the Canadian Armed Forces.
