Complete the Third Mission of the National Revolution
The character wan, meaning "complete," on Wan Pillbox was part of a slogan meaning "Unite New Life comrades and complete the third mission." This implied counterattacking mainland China and freeing the people there from communism. This 12-character slogan also served as an individual symbol for each of the twelve squadrons within the three brigades. On the left breast of the New Life uniforms was a large, round "New Life " badge, together with the number of the squadron and the name of the individual embroidered in white.
