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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Supply Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106252693812,"sku":"B500034","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/9216\/7279\/files\/New_Army_Pathfinder_Badge_OCP_Sew_On_Qualification_Patch-698bc5ed574bd_6a501f79-5759-4a5b-97a0-fe187df442bb.jpg?v=1777045220","url":"https:\/\/www.bradleyssurplus.com\/products\/army-pathfinder-badge-ocp-sew-on-qualification-patch","provider":"Bradley's Surplus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
