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":"Sta-Brite Insignia, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991154733364,"sku":"B500009","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/9216\/7279\/files\/Sergeant_Major_Rank_Patch_SGM_E9_Army_OCP_Sew_On-695ef08de8ae5_566118c0-618c-48c6-a5ae-2c0efd1217ce.jpg?v=1767829690","url":"https:\/\/www.bradleyssurplus.com\/products\/sergeant-major-rank-patch-sgm-e9-army-ocp-sew-on","provider":"Bradley's Surplus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
