The Royal Arcerion Regiment has adopted a number of uniform styles and patterns over their years. Throughout it all, there have been several items and accoutrements that have remained consistent. | |||
=== Cap Badge and Motto === | |||
Since the adoption of "Hold the Line" after the Second Great War, the Regiment's rifle-green berets have been emblazoned with the Ardmori Lion, with script underneath with the Regimental Motto. Officers are entitled to gold insignia, and non-commissioned officers and other ranks silver. During modern conflicts such as the Second Great War, the cap badge has often been sewn onto field caps and head dress for tactical reasons to reduce the shine and visibility. Even with the dissolution of the Ardmori Royal Family and the Ardmori Crown Regent, the Regiment still retains the Ardmori Royal Crown over its cap badge, surmounting it as part of Arcerion's heritage as the last bastion of Royal Ardmore. | |||
=== Dress === | |||
The Regiment's daily dress is combat fatigues, or for officers and staff NCOs, the dress of the day is their Army Service dress. The Regiment has several types of dress and distinct markings. The Regimental colours are Orange and Green, and when in their full ceremonial dress, sometimes referred to as 'Scarlets,' members of the RAR wear red coats with Green facings. The Regiment, as a note to its past as a dismounted rifle regiment, has all officers and NCOs continue to wear dress boots, unlike other Regiments where Officers and NCOs wear dress shoes. The RAR also maintains a summer uniform, in the traditional brown style of Army Service Dress. Each Battalion also has its own distinct dress differences. The mechanised infantrymen of the Regiment have collardogs that show a Lion Rampant, whereas their dismounted infantry battalions have a Lion Passant. | |||
