'''Corps Directive 01-1306''' was issued '''25 June 2013''' under the authority of the [[Marshal of the Corps]]. It establishes regulations for the creation and use of unit guidons within the [[RMMC]].

'''Description:'''<br>

RMMC organizational guidons shall be made of green wool bunting upon which insignia, letters, and numbers, as required, of gold wool bunting, shall be sewn on each side. However if wool bunting is not available heavyweight rayon banner cloth may be used. In that case the insignia, letter, and numbers shall be silkscreened on each side so that the guidon may be correctly read from either side. Regardless of the material used the guidon shall measure 1.83 feet on the hoist and 2.33 feet on the fly. A Royal Manticoran Marine Corps emblem as displayed on the RMMC beret flash, consisting of a crossed pulsar rifle and ship overtopped by a the Crown of Manticore, shall be placed in the center of each side of the guidon. The emblem shall measure approximately 10” from the lowest point to the highest point of the group and 10.5” in total width.  The letters “RMMC” of single block type 4” high shall be placed centrally above the RMMC emblem offset 1” from the top edge. Letters and numerals will be consistent in size and follow the following rules; 1 number/letter – 6” high, 2-3 numbers/letters – 4 ½” high, 4 or more numbers/letters – 1 ¾” high. Numerals preceding letters will be 4 ½” high.  Guidons will always have regimental numbers/letters in the lower left and lower right corners. See figure 1 for an example.<br>

A dress guidon with a 2” gold fringe attached to the edges of an organizational guidon is authorized for each organizational guidon.<br><br>
