Canadian Forces Intelligence Corps OD Green Armband Brassard

The Canadian Forces Intelligence Corps OD Green Armband Brassard is a uniform accessory used by members of the Intelligence Corps within the Canadian Armed Forces. This particular brassard is constructed from durable olive drab (OD) green fabric, a standard color for military field use, and is designed to be worn on the upper arm. The purpose of the brassard is both identification and function, signifying the wearer’s role within the Intelligence Corps during field operations, exercises, or specific assignments where standard insignia may not be visible or practical. Typically, the brassard features embroidered or printed Corps insignia or titles, such as “Intelligence” or the associated cap badge design, enabling quick identification by allied personnel. Such items are of interest for collectors of military uniforms, insignia, or Canadian military history. The armband exemplifies distinct design characteristics typical of mid-to-late 20th-century Canadian military uniform accessories.
