FINLAND Border Guard Long Range Reconnaissance (Sissi) qualification badge, cloth

(Finnish: Sissi)

Embroidered on dark green felt cloth base.

Nearly every Border Guard District trains small number of conscripts for long range reconnaissance. Conscripts in Border Guard companies are mostly volunteers and preferably selected from the occupants of border areas, and while trained by Border Guard, they do not perform regular border control duties. Rivalry between Sissi from Border Guards and Defence Forces is traditionally high.
