Regimental Standard

On the 13th July 2002, a new Standard was presented to the Regiment by the then Governor General of Australia, Dr P. Hollingworth, AC, OBE. The 1st Armoured Regiment remains the only unit within the Australian Army to have a Standard.

The Standard commemorates the Regiment's past battles and victories. The Standard displays the Campaign in which the unit has fought. The unit is entitled to emblazon no more than two battle honours for that campaign. The current Standard bears the Regimental title and symbol, encased in a wreath of wattle leaves and has the regimental number in the corner. Emblazoned on the Standard are the Campaign honour of VIETNAM 1968-72 and the battle honours BINH BA and HAT DICH.

In the last 23 years the Standard has seen many changes within the Regiment, notably the move from Puckapunyal to it's new home here at Robertson Barracks.
