Other Tabs
Shouldn't the Airborne tab belong in the "Identification Tabs" section?


 * I believe that is a shoulder patch of a division and not a qualification badge. I'm not an Army man, though. -Husnock 16:15, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * The airborne tab is part of a unit insignia, for example, the 101st is NOT an actual Airborne division, but an Air Assault division, and is allowed to wear the airborne tab as an historical patch of the division.--Vidkun 13:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Why has the Honor Guard tab been omitted? Soldiers of the Old Guard wear them permanently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.224.13  (talk • contribs)  00:35, 25 June 2009


 * To clarify, below is a quote from Army Regulations. Jigen III (talk) 05:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

National Guard
I'd like to request that the Mountain Warfare School badge be added.207.69.138.141 05:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, is there some place that the badge can be found? --Darkstar949 00:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That badge is a National Guard badge and is issued by the state of Vermont. This article (as indicated by "of the United States Army" in the title) is for badges authorized by HQDA, not state govts. Jigen III (talk) 05:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Very comprehensive, but the Army National Guard recruiter badges are not included. There are three different levels of them, in much the same way the USA and USAR have seperate gold/silver recruiter badges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DropZone357  (talk • contribs)  02:43, 29 August 2006


 * We are only including badges described in AR670-1. NG badges are considered state-level badges. See below. Jigen III (talk) 05:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Jungle and Arctic Tabs
The Jungle Tab has a long history in the US army. It's something every soldier has seen. The Arctic Tab is not one I've seen, but from what I understand it's also become a common unit level tab. But being a tab is very different from being a badge. I deleted these additions when I tried to search to find absolutely any evidence of a Jungle or Arctic badge and found none. I couldn't even find a place to buy one as a novelty item. I suspect that no one has ever worn these tabs as metal badges on their dress uniform and we shouldn't invent the notion that someone has. They exist as cloth tabs which individual units have opted to award. I see no evidence that these unit awards are also being produced and worn as metal badges on dress uniforms. I suspect they never will until they become Army wide awards. Even then, the whole badge version of tabs was a mere product of the ASU dress uniform not including unit patches on the shoulder. The new pinks & greens army dress uniform returns to having unit patches on the shoulder, so tabs are likely to return to being strictly shoulder tabs and not badges. But - either way it goes - no one has a Jungle or Arctic badge on their dress uniform so it doesn't belong on the badge wiki entry. - Atfyfe (talk) 05:54, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Sniper Tab
Even though the sniper tab is not authorized to wear, when you graduate you are still given a sniper tab. Can you add the sniper tab? 2600:1700:3E0A:1D10:B597:C677:8704:B1D4 (talk) 17:27, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Arctic Tab
Also to include the Arctic Tab. If you’ve attended this school you are allowed to wear your Arctic Tab under your unit patch if you’re still in a unit that authorizes it. 2600:1700:3E0A:1D10:B597:C677:8704:B1D4 (talk) 17:34, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
