Heritage Structure | Annex A – Badge frames

Table of contents

Authorized badge frames are illustrated below. The conventional colour scheme for each is shown in the examples in A-AD-267-000/AG-001 to 004, The Insignia and Lineages of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
A request for a new or revised badge frame will be submitted to NDHQ/DHH (Attention: Inspector of CAF Badges and Colours) through the chain of command. When possible, the use of the existing badge frames will be expanded, rather than designing a new one. Too many variations defeats the purpose of badge frames: to allow quick, visual identification of a unit's type and function.
