Ammo & Co Cadet Force Tactical Recognition Flashes (TRFs) – Parade-Ready Precision with Pride

The Cadet Force TRF Collection by Ammo & Co reflects the same attention to detail, heritage, and presentation that defines our work with the British Armed Forces. Designed for members of the Army Cadet Force (ACF), Combined Cadet Force (CCF), and Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC), each Tactical Recognition Flash is produced to official cadet pattern and regimental specification, ensuring every badge reflects its unit’s distinct identity and traditions.

The Origins of TRF Badges

Tactical Recognition Flashes (TRFs) trace their lineage to the colourful formation signs worn by British soldiers during the First and Second World Wars, when cloth patches were used to identify divisions, corps, and units on the battlefield. Reintroduced in the late 20th century for modern camouflage uniforms, TRFs continue to provide clear visual identification while preserving a strong sense of regimental heritage and pride.

For the Cadet Forces, these flashes proudly display corps colours, school affiliations, or county distinctions, helping to build identity and unity across the UK’s youth military organisations.
