HERES WHY

Why Do Smoke Grenades Come In Different Colors ?

Green, Red, Yellow. Soldiers Can Employ A Variety Of Colors When It Comes To Smoke Grenades.

While Smoke Can Be Used For Cover And Concealment, It Can Also Serve As An Identifier. On The Battlefield, Smoke Can Identify And Communicate Landing Zones, Friendly Troops And Potential Targets, The Army Reports.

In An Aeromedical Evacuation, For Example, Soldiers Could Use A Specific Color Of Smoke. The Aircrew Can Identify The Color Of Smoke And Quickly Confirm It With The Ground Personal. This Ensures The Evacuation Team Is Landing At The Correct Site And Also Allows For A Shorter Radio Communication.
