regimental colors
Battalion's ceremonial flag
Regimental colors are the distinctive flags carried by a military regiment, serving as symbols of unit identity, history, and honor.
Traditionally carried into battle, they now appear primarily in ceremonies and parades.
The colors often display battle honors, unit insignia, and national emblems.
Losing regimental colors to an enemy was historically considered a profound disgrace.
