US ARMY TRAINING UNITS

COMPANY/BATTERY GUIDONS

Notes

Guidons for US Army training units display branch colors and insignia if the unit is oriented to branch, or a specified design if not oriented to branch.

For branch-oriented service schools, the guidon is of the same colors and design as that used for troop units, without letters or numerals. Branch school brigades, battalions and company-sized units have guidons of the colors and design of the corresponding organizational flag of the unit.

The United States Corps of Cadets (West Point) has two types of guidons: Dress (illustrated below), displaying the regimental number, the initials U.S.C.C. and the company letter; and Field, displaying the regimental number only. Companies of the US Military Academy Preparatory School, which prepares selected enlisted soldiers for the Academy, have black guidons with the monogram USMAPS over the company letter, all in yellow. NCO academies of commands, corps, divisions and similar units have teal blue guidons with the unit shoulder sleeve insignia in proper colors over the framed monogram NCOA in yellow.

Dimensions and materials for guidons of training units are the same as for guidons of the combat arms.
