The Combat Medical Badge was established on March 1, 1945, during World War II. It is awarded to Army medical personnel, such as medics, physicians, and physician assistants, who are assigned or attached to a medical unit of a brigade or smaller size that provides direct support to infantry or Special Forces units. The recipient must have performed medical duties while engaged in active ground combat. The medical duties must have been performed satisfactorily while the medical personnel were actively treating and evacuating wounded soldiers under enemy fire.
Why does my OCP patch or name tape look lighter than previous issued patches and name tapes?
In an effort to standardize insignia across the Army, Air Force, and Space Force, The Institute of Heraldry collaborated with PEO-S to transition each branches insignia. The OCP rank insignia, badges, name, and service tapes are now a lighter, three-color background pattern instead of the previous seven-color pattern. This modification aims to enhance readability and facilitate easier recognition of ranks, addressing the challenge posed by the previous seven-color background. By simplifying these features without compromising the overall functionality of the uniform, the transition seeks to improve situational awareness in day-to-day interactions for military personnel.
