Description
The Badge is a silver or gold-colored metal and enamel device 2 inches (5.08 cm) in height consisting of a design similar to the unit Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI).
Wear
The Combat Service Identification Badge is worn on the lower right pocket for male soldiers and on the right side parallel to the waistline for female soldiers. Soldiers can wear the CSIB on the new blue Army Service Uniform, Class A and Class B. The CSIB cannot be worn on the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) or the discontinued Army Green Uniform. U.S. soldiers will continue to wear the subdued Shoulder Sleeve Insignia-Former Wartime Service on their right sleeve of the ACU to denote combat service. The Shoulder Sleeve Insignia-Former Wartime Service was also worn on the Army Green Uniform, until that uniform was discontinued in October 2014. The CSIB is ranked fifth in the order of precedence for identification badges.
