Canadian Army 31 CBG Reserve Force Formation Patch

The Canadian Army 31 Canadian Brigade Group (CBG) Reserve Force Formation Patch represents one of the key regional commands within Canada’s Army Reserve. The 31 CBG is headquartered in London, Ontario, and encompasses reserve units located throughout southwestern Ontario. This rectangular patch typically features a distinctive color scheme and numerical or symbolic insignia associated with 31 CBG, sewn on the upper sleeve of the dress uniforms of reservists belonging to this formation. Formation patches such as this serve to identify both the brigade group and the wearer’s affiliation within the broader structure of the Canadian Army. In use since the Reserve Force reorganization in the late 1990s, these patches follow standardized Canadian military heraldry and uniform protocols. Collectors and historians may encounter variations in design and manufacture, reflecting different eras or supply sources. This patch is relevant for those interested in Canadian military insignia, organizational history, and the visual distinctions of modern Army Reserve units.
