Ordnance Regulation Double side Guidon
Army Guidons are done IAW AR 840-10. Manufactured with U.S. made 200 denier nylon. All stitching is done with marine grade thread and all stress point are reinforced. Letters and numbers are stitched and appliqued never screen printed. All colors and designs are taken from the Army Regulation and drawings or cartoon from TIOH. The Colors of the new guidon compared to the current one might vary due to the age of fabric and exposure to the elements.
The use of the ''shell and flame'' by the Ordnance Corps dates back to 1832; it is considered to be the oldest branch insignia of the Army. Similar insignia had been used by the British Army. After its adoption by the American Army, the design was used by the Artillery as well as the Ordnance until 1834 when the crossed cannon was adopted by the Artillery. In 1835, the shell and flame was used on a button for members of the Ordnance Corps and the design had been used in various items worn on the uniform since it was first adopted. The simplicity of the shell and flame harmonizes with the armament of days gone by, while the action it connotes is applicable with equal force to the weapons of today.
AR 840-10 describes a guidon as the following.
