Military insignia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A DZ Flash is a badge or patch worn by the Airborne forces of the British Army and all squadrons of the RAF Regiment.[1] DZ stands for 'drop zone'. In RAF Regiment use, these flashes distinguish between squadrons, although within the RAF Regiment only II Squadron has a parachute capability.
The DZ flash should not be confused with the smaller Tactical Recognition Flash (TRF) introduced and used by the rest of the Army.[2]
