Badges of the United States Army

As described in Army Regulation 670-1 Uniforms and Insignia, badges are categorized into marksmanship, combat and special skill, identification, and foreign.

Only three badges (from groups 3, 4, or 5) can be worn on the dress uniform pocket flap at one time.

The order of precedence for combat and special skill badges are established only by group.

SMA Weimer stated that that Soldiers serving on Army watercraft and ships would be eligible for the badge.
