Badges of the United States Space Force

Badges of the United States Space Force are specific uniform paraphernalia authorized by the United States Space Force that signify ratings, special skills, career field qualifications, and serve as identification devices for personnel occupying certain assignments.

A star and wreath system, worn above the badge, denotes which degree or skill level a service member currently holds.

The globe, combined with lightning bolt wings, signifies the Air Force's common communications heritage.

In 2021, the Scientific Applications Specialist Badge was approved for USAF Chemists and Physicists, including those supporting the USSF.

This depiction represents acquisition's contribution to the Department of the Air Force's vision: "global power and reach for America."

The converging paths reflect the inputs from the major acquisition elements (science & technology, development & test, production, and support).

These inputs come together and result in advance weapon systems (represented by the deltoid) which support both Services in the Department of the Air Force, the USAF and the USSF.

Authorization and wear criteria for the Acquisition and Financial Management Badge applies to all military Force Modernization officers, USAF Airmen and USSF Guardians alike.
