Badge for Reserve Voluntary Service (BRVS) 61 Mechanised Battalion Operational Service Badge The unit awarded a small badge called the Operational Badge for those in or attached to the unit who deployed with the unit on operational duties. A subsequent version with a green backing was mooted, which was intended to be for internal duties. This green backed badge was never approved and the Yellow backed badge continued to be awarded for all operations in which 61 Mech was involved, including internal ones. The badge consists of a dagger with three diagonal lightning bolts in red across it. A subdued version was produced for wear on nutria (brown's) uniforms. With the introduction of camouflage, a new version was produced on green thatching.
