The 11th Mountain Infantry Division (Notreceauen: 11e Division d'Infanterie de Montagne, 11e DIM) is a light infantry division of the National Army of Notreceau. The 11th is one of three dedicated mountain warfare divisions of the National Army, and is one of the most celebrated and decorated military formations in Notreceau. Famed for their resilience, tenacity and unwillingness to surrender the 11th has earned the moniker "Les Sanglant Ones" or "The Bloody Ones." Based at Fort Primevère in Cœurfourré, the 11th is a component of the 3rd Army Corps and primarily maintains positions on the mountainous border with Luminerra. Due to the illustrious history of the Division, Chasseur Alpins serving in the 11th wear the Fourragère of the National Army with special distinction.

Colors and Uniform
Chasseur Alpins serving in the 11th Mountain Infantry Division are primarily issued the Toundra mixte service and duty pattern uniform, designed primarily for combat in the Vi Castis mountain range. When deployed outside of this environment however, allocations do exist for other patterns of standard service and duty uniforms. The standard dress uniform for all Chasseur Alpins is a white dress uniform and long white burnous, capped by a large beret known colloquially as gâteau or the cake in english.
The Colors of the 11th are officially sky blue, azure and white. All three colors feature prominently in the unit insignia of the 11th. Soldiers in the 11th are said to "bleed blue," and despite their honorary title of "the Bloody Ones," are prohibited from wearing any red (with the exception of the red in the flag of Notreceau) under any circumstances during their term of enlistment.
