Iraqi Special Republican Guard Triangles with Writing Pair

The Republican Guard were among the most elite and well funded forces of the Iraqi Army. They spearheaded all the major offensives with armor and infantry supported by aircraft.  They wore pin on insignia or sewn on patches on their shoulders consisting of a red triangle.   They also had small pin on badges to wear above their pockets to denote special units within the RG.

The Special Republican Guard had a white border around their triangle and were the best of the RG. Their other insignia was a red triangle with writing.
