The Signal Flare is a common tool used in the Military by the Garrison and the Survey Corps. The signal flare has a variety of uses depending on the mission and brigade using them.

While the Signal Flare has many uses, its main purpose is long distance communication. The Garrison uses it as a way to inform the higher-ranking officers how their mission is going, while the Survey Corps uses it as a way to communicate (often in the presence of Titans) to the rest of the legion.[1] One improvisational use is to use them to conceal allies from enemy sight.[2]

The ammo the Garrison uses is the following:

  • Green - Mission started.
  • Red - Mission failed. (Unless Yellow Flare is spotted some time after Red)
  • Yellow - Mission successful.[3]

  • Red - Titan spotted. (Used in order for the squad to avoid the Titans)
  • Black - Abnormal Type Titan spotted.
  • Purple - An emergency of some kind. (someone is grabbed)
  • Blue - An order to retreat.
  • Green - Change direction of the formation: Fired by the commander in one direction to indicate a change in the direction, and then repeated by the relay soldiers.[4]
  • Yellow - This lets everyone know that the mission has been terminated, be it successfully or failed.
  • Acoustic- While leading the Female Titan through the Forest of Giant Trees, Levi used a special shell that emitted a high-pitched noise.[5]
