In the huge military organization of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, every officer and soldier has his own identity, which is not only a symbol of their identity, but also a manifestation of honor and responsibility. Today, we're going to take a closer look at how these special emblems, armbands, distinguish between arms, units, and locations.
First, let's talk about armbands for army units. As the largest branch of the army, the armbands of the army are usually green and equipped with the iconic pattern representing the army. Different units will differ according to the characteristics of the mission, with slight differences in color and pattern, but overall consistency.
Next is the Air Force Unit. The armbands of the Air Force are often based on blue or sky blue, with the addition of flying eagles or other aviation symbols to show their air power attributes.
When it comes to the Hong Kong Garrison and the Macao Garrison, they have a special historical background. For example, the Hong Kong Garrison was formed in 1993 and officially stationed in Hong Kong in 1997 after its return to the motherland. Their armbands combine elements of the Chinese People's Liberation Army with Hong Kong's local characteristics, and have a profound meaning.
The Macao Garrison, on the other hand, is relatively single, as it only includes army units. They wore simple and solemn armbands, and they showed their might when they moved.
Of course, in addition to talking about these common troops, we have to mention the smaller but equally brave ones. For example, some special stations, such as the Djibouti support base, are equipped with exclusive armbands. During their appearance at the departure ceremony on July 11, 2017, they could be seen wearing a uniquely designed, practical and commemorative logo on their chests.
It is worth mentioning that at certain important moments or after the completion of the mission, the guard troops, frigates, etc. will wear specially designed armbands as a symbol of honor, and in this way, they will enhance morale and group cohesion.
Looking at each unit from a numerical perspective, we can better feel the PLA's strong strength and precise organization. For example, large units with more than 8,000 people and small groups with less than 1,000 people will be appropriately adjusted according to their respective sizes.
Through a detailed and vivid introduction to these identity symbols, armbands, we can see that each branch of the army and each unit carries a different mission and glory. These well-designed and strictly managed symbols not only enhance internal cohesion, but also convey to the outside world the firm position of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to unswervingly defend national security and interests and actively participate in the handling of international peace affairs.
