Vaid at Kapurthala with Vijayanta tanks. Subsequently, the regiment was converted to T-90 tanks.[1] The regiment has served in Operation Trident, Operation Rakshak I and Operation Rakshak II.[1] The regiment has adopted the nickname Barasinghas (meaning 12-point stag), and representing the Barasingha, or swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii), a deer species endemic to India. This was inspired by the statue of a barasingha stag in full cry in the palace of the Maharaja of Kapurthala. Each of the tines of the antlers is said to symbolise one of the 12 tank troops of the regiment.[1] The cap badge of the unit has crossed lances and pennons, with the numeral 12 at the crossing, with the regimental motto inscribed on a scroll below in Devanagari script. The cap badge is in silver plate for officers and nickel plate for other ranks.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Nath|first=Ashok|title=Izzat: historical records and iconography of Indian cavalry regiments, 1750-2007|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sGQeQwAACAAJ|year=2009|publisher=Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research, United Service Institution of India|isbn=978-81-902097-7-9|pages=560–561}} {{Indian Army Armoured Corps |state=expanded}}{{India-mil-stub}} 2 : Armoured and cavalry regiments of the Indian Army from 1947|Military units and formations established in 1984 |
