I 1975 udkom E.O.A. Hedegaard med bogen om militærpolitiets historie, og på dette tidspunkt fandt man ud af, at man havde haft et ønske om at videreføre farverne fra det gamle feltgendarmeri, den lyseblå og hvide farve, netop de farver, som er militærpolitiets officielle farver. Det ville, set med danske historiske øjne, have været korrekt at have ført lyseblåt huebetræk, lyseblåt armbind med hvide bogstaver og dertil hvid bandolering videre.

Men i 1947, da man anvendte det sorte engelske armbind med røde bogstaver, var der ikke kendskab til denne historie. Det var der heller ikke i 1953, da man indførte det sorte med hvide bogstaver.

Dette armbind har sandsynligvis været brugt ved flyvevåbnet, en sjov historie at de har anvendt et armbind, som da man har ment, den blå farve refererer til flyvevåbnet, men ikke har haft kendskab til den oprindelige historie.

In 1975, E.O.A. Hedegaard published the book on the history of the military police, and at that time it was discovered that there had been a desire to continue the colors from the old field gendarmerie, the light blue and white color, precisely the colors that are the official colors of the military police. From a Danish historical perspective, it would have been correct to have continued with light blue headgear, light blue armbands with white letters, and additionally white bandoliering.

But in 1947, when the black English armband with red letters was used, there was no knowledge of this history. There was also none in 1953, when the black with white letters was introduced.

This armband has probably been used by the air force, a funny story that they have used an armband, as it was believed that the blue color refers to the air force, but they were not aware of the original history.

Er optaget i Hærens uniformsbestemmelser fra 2020 som

"Blåt armbind med sorte kanter kendetegner feltgendarmeri og vagtpersonel."

Men det oprindelige armbind der blev anvendt ved oprettelsen i november 1946 var det lyseblå med mørkeblå kantning.

Der ses ikke anvendelse af dette armbind i dag (2025) mange steder, da der for denne form for tjeneste ikke er ressourcer til uddannelse i opgaver. 

Is included in the Army's uniform regulations from 2020 as

"A blue armband with black edges characterizes field gendarmerie and guard personnel."

However, the original armband used at the establishment in November 1946 was light blue with dark blue edging.

Armbindet anvendt af Flyvevåbnet til identificering af "Vagthavende Befalingsmand" har ikke krævet, at bæreren var uddannet som militærpoliti. Anvendelsen af armbindet blev ophørt, da flyvestationerne overgik til bemanding med uddannet militærpoliti.
Der foreligger ingen bekræftet historik om dette.

The armband used by the Air Force to identify the “Duty Officer” did not require the wearer to be trained as military police. Use of the armband was discontinued when the air bases transitioned to staffing with trained military police.
There is no confirmed history of this.

Bagsiden

The backside.

Fremstillet af lysegråt flonel (8,3 x ca. 40 cm), sammensyet på indersiden. På ydersiden er der påsat bogstaverne FSIK, som er fremstillet af mørkeblå voksdug/plastik, ca. 1 cm i bredden og 6,5 cm i højden.

Made of light gray flannel (8.3 x approx. 40 cm), sewn on the inside. On the outside, the letters FSIK are attached, made of dark blue vinyl/plastic, approximately 1 cm wide and 6.5 cm high.

I oktober 1954 drøftede Hjemmeværnet og Forsvarsministeriet, om det var hensigtsmæssigt at autorisere brugen af armbind for Hjemmeværnets specialenheder i forbindelse med øget beredskab. Det fremgår ikke præcist, hvilke enheder der var i fokus, men det antages, at politienheder af forskellig art indgik i overvejelserne.
Den 5. februar 1965 foreslog Hjemmeværnet i en skrivelse, at alt FSIK-personel skulle udstyres med armbind. For slaget blev dog aldrig realiseret. Der blev imidlertid fremstillet og anvendt armbind til brug under uddannelseskurser på Hjemmeværnsskolen samt ved regionale øvelser.
Det vurderes, at armbindene kun blev produceret i et meget begrænset antal – maksimalt 25 styk – og de er i dag ikke længere i brug.

In October 1954, the Home Guard and the Ministry of Defence discussed whether it was appropriate to authorize the use of armbands for the Home Guard's special units in connection with increased readiness. It is not precisely stated which units were the focus, but it is assumed that various types of police units were part of the considerations.
On February 5, 1965, the Home Guard proposed in a letter that all FSIK personnel should be equipped with armbands. However, the proposal was never realized. Nevertheless, armbands were produced and used during training courses at the Home Guard School as well as at regional exercises.
It is estimated that the armbands were only produced in a very limited number – a maximum of 25 pieces – and they are no longer in use today.

Trykt på et tysk armbånd, og grunden til identifikationen er, at der indeni er det officielle NATO lagernummer 8455-12-157-3940.

Armbåndet er fra den tyske hær og bruges til kampdommere. Teksten blev trykt lokalt på Uddannelses- og Materielkontoret (UMAK) for Prinsens Livregiment (PLR), som blev nedlagt i 2005.

Den gule version af armbindet for feltsikkerhed blev produceret i 1980'erne, da der var hjemmeværnsenheder, der ville prøve at anvende funktionen. Trods dette var det ikke en officiel funktion.

Printed on a German armband, and the reason for the identification is that on the inside is the official NATO stock number 8455-12-157-3940.

The armband is from the German army and is used for combat judges. The text was printed locally at the Training and Material Office (UMAK) of the Prince's Life Regiment (PLR), which was disbanded in 2005.

The yellow version of the armband for field safety was produced in the 1980s when there were home guard units that wanted to try using the function. Despite this, it was not an official function.
