I guess I should also add that this one is my favorite, but then again I may be biased regarding the color scheme

It also makes me think about how my arms would look with crowns of gules "perfilada de oro"...

Pretty cool, I bet.

Is that an ant?    1,2,3,4,5,6…7…8…..legs?  And the United Nations symbol in base of the other is…. interesting. :confused:

A spider, of course.  Not bad for an antiaircraft communications group—spins a web to catch flying objects.

If, as the caption suggests, the unit is a temporary task force formed for the purpose of managing Spain’s commitment to ops in Bosnia, the UN emblem presumably signifies that the mission is under UN auspices.

Yes a Spider it should be, my misstake.

And as for the Tactical Grouping "Córdoba" you are right Joe, this was a temporary unit deployed under UN mandate to Bosnia.

While I can see that the charge in the sinister chief is meant to be a set of arches or window frames of some kind, my initial thoughts were "why is there a McDonalds logo on a Spanish military shield?" :p

I’ll see myself out.
