These assigned meanings may be altered per mission, with the exception of red smoke, at the discretion of higher headquarters. In this event, these changes MUST be specified in the respective OPORD under the “Command and Signal” section.

	=== Flare Brevity ===		=== Flare Brevity ===
	As with smoke and chemlights, flare color will have an assigned meaning both for the 40mm and hand tossed variants. Their use is more similar to smoke as their effect is limited to a short time. With their limited color types, though, their meanings are modified slightly from smoke but are very similar none the less. The following outlines the brevity for flares.
