Canadian Forces DEU Warrant Officer Armband Brassard

The Canadian Forces DEU Warrant Officer Armband Brassard is a uniform accessory used within the Canadian military. Designed for wear with the Distinctive Environmental Uniform (DEU), this armband brassard signifies the rank of Warrant Officer. It typically features a green or dark blue fabric base, depending on the branch, and displays the Warrant Officer insignia—a stylized crown—prominently positioned at the center. The brassard is constructed for durability, with reinforced stitching and adjustable fastening to fit over the uniform sleeve as required by dress regulations. The use of armbands and brassards aids in the quick identification of rank and role during parades, official ceremonies, and specific duties. The Canadian Forces DEU Warrant Officer Armband Brassard is an example of modern uniform insignia, reflecting contemporary Canadian military rank structure and presentation standards since the introduction of the current DEU system in the late 1980s.
