The commanding officer's pennants for the Fortified Regions were adopted on 15 March 1933. They are related to the garrison of the Maginot Line. The pennants are shown in a series of 20 plates, adapted from official models published in 1937, entitled Les uniformes de l'Armé françise, 1939-1940, edited by François Vauvillier (Paris, the author, 1989).
