Multiplayer locality (As of Arma 3 v1.24):
Effect of this function is global, it should be executed consistently for JIP otherwise insignias are gone after respawn, so they have to be reapplied afterwards (On all machines again).
This would apply insignia "111thID" to player unit on all machines (incl. Join In Progress): [[ player, "111thID"], "BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia", nil, true, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

There are two ways of removing an insignia when placed.
The first way would be to run this function on the unit:
fnc_removeUnitInsignia = { _unit = _this select 0; _index = -1; { if (_x == "insignia") exitwith {_index = _foreachindex;}; } foreach getarray (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> gettext (configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> uniform _unit >> "ItemInfo" >> "uniformClass") >> "hiddenSelections"); _unit setObjectTextureGlobal [_index, ""]; }; [player] call fnc_removeUnitInsignia
The second way would be to create an empty cfgUnitInsignia class in the description.ext:
class CfgUnitInsignia { class empty { author = ""; displayName = ""; texture = ""; }; }; And then run it the normal way: [player, "empty"] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia
