Evolution of the Army
The Band of the Red Hand is now reconstituted after the events in The Fires of Heaven when Matrim Cauthon, aided by the memories gifted him by the Eelfinn, takes command of some of the forces of Tear and Cairhien fighting the Shaido while trying to effect his own escape. He wins many skirmishes against the Aiel during this battle, in one even killing Couladin, earning the respect of the men and their generals, enough for them to name him their commander.

Known as Shen an Calhar in the Old Tongue, The Band's first members were from Tear and Cairhien, although their reputation has garnered significant numbers of recruits from Altara, Andor and Murandy. It is formed around military formations based on those used during the Trolloc Wars and Artur Hawkwing's time.

Today
Due to events in Knife of Dreams, the band is now in two sections. One part is with Mat moving northeast out of Altara; this group comprises three banners of horse (4500 cavalry) and four thousand mounted crossbowmen (horses for travel, fighting from foot). They lost four hundred crossbowmen and five hundred cavalry before their last battle in Altara, and recruited some Altarans (numbers unknown) who were fighting the Seanchan.

The other section, led by Estean and Daerid, comprises three banners of horse (again, 4500 cavalry), five banners of foot (15,000 infantry) and a Mason's Banner (an engineering corps, number unknown); it is moving north out of Murandy and into Andor.

The Band's ensign consists of a red-fringed white square with a large open red hand in the center. Beneath the hand, Mat's motto has been embroidered in red: Dovie'andi se tovya sagain, or "It's time to toss the dice." Its unofficial anthem is "Dance with Jak o' the Shadows"---Jak o' the Shadows is a psyedonym for Death.

Redarms refer to members of the Band assigned to keeping the peace within the ranks, and they wear a red piece of cloth around their arm when it is their turn to perform their duties. Any damage caused by members of the Band while they are camped around population centers comes directly out of the Redarms' pay, giving them an extra incentive to make sure nobody gets too rowdy after a visit to the local tavern.

When in their battle gear, most everything they wear blends into their surroundings as Mat has had the soldiers of the Band paint their armor and helmets a dull green to fade into the background. Yet the army as a whole has adopted the style of wearing a length of red cloth on their arm.
