50th Armoured Regiment (India)

The Regiment was presented the ‘President’s Standards’ at Mamun Military Station in Pathankot on 5 November 2014 by General Dalbir Singh, Chief of the Army Staff, on behalf of the President of India, Mr Pranab Mukherjee.

In the strict martial sense, these colours when seen in unison depict the traditional Verey Light success signal of “Red over Green” which signifies victory in battle.

In a generic sense, Red is the traditional cavalry colour signifying supreme sacrifice while Green stands for the basic desire for peace, harmony, and well being of all ranks of the regiment.

Seen together, the colours signify the regiment's preparedness for the supreme sacrifice when called upon to do so, from a basic stance of peace, harmony and well-being.
