Canadian Forces DEU Corporal United Nations Armband Brassard

The Canadian Forces DEU Corporal United Nations Armband Brassard is a military insignia worn by members of the Canadian Armed Forces while serving under the United Nations. This brassard is designed for attachment to the Distinctive Environmental Uniform (DEU) and signifies the wearer’s participation in a UN mission. Constructed of light blue material, which reflects the official color of the United Nations, it features a white embroidered UN emblem prominently displayed on the band. The brassard is secured to the uniform sleeve, commonly on the upper arm, using an adjustable fastening system such as Velcro or buttons. It is sized to provide clear visibility and identification. Rank insignia for corporal is integrated into the design, indicating the wearer’s rank within the Canadian Forces. Such armbands are typically issued for the duration of a UN deployment and are regarded as official items of uniform dress. This example reflects standard design and issue practices from recent decades.
