| Obverse description | Central field bears the heraldic badge of 3 PARA (3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment), depicting a shield charged with a lion rampant, surmounted by a helmet and flanked by crossed swords, with the unit designation '3 PARA' on a scroll below. A plain rectangular panel appears beneath the badge, likely intended for personalization. The surrounding legend reads IMJIN, CHATKOL, HAKTANGNI and KOREA, referencing Korean War battle honours, arranged around the rim. |
