The Red Cross may use a Greek red cross on a white background as its emblem and badge, as the Geneva treaties describe. Handing out the brassard — worn by people granted neutral status in wartime — is left to military authorities, per those same treaties.

(a) Emblem and Badge. To carry out its purposes under this chapter, the corporation may have and use, as its emblem and badge, a Greek red cross on a white background. This is the symbol described in the Geneva treaties of August 22, 1864, July 27, 1929, and August 12, 1949, and adopted by every nation that joined those treaties. (b) Delivery of Brassard. Following those same treaties, deciding who receives the brassard — the armband allowed for people given neutral status during wartime — is left to military authorities.
