Ribbons

Qualification badges (Chinese: 级别资历章) are a series of decorations of People's Liberation Army Type 07 in the form of small ribbons mounted on small metal bars indicating military rank, billet, or length of service. Only PLA officers can wear qualification badges, PLA soldiers wear National Defense Service Medal instead.

Billet and rank ribbons

Each row has three ribbons; a blank white ribbon is used to fill out a row that only has two ribbons. Ranks and billets can be inferred from the number of rows. The rule is:

  • 7 rows: Level of Vice Chairman of CMC (Chinese: 军委副主席) and CMC members (Chinese: 军委委员)
  • 6 rows: Level of Major Military Region (Chinese: 大军区级)
  • 5 rows: Level of Corps (Chinese: 军级)
  • 4 rows: Level of Division (Chinese: 师级)
  • 3 rows: Level of Regiment (Chinese: 团级)
  • 2 rows: Level of Battalion (Chinese: 营级)
  • 1 row: Level of Company (Chinese: 连级) and Platoon (Chinese: 排级)
  • The ribbon at the middle of top row is called a rank ribbon (Chinese: 级别略章) and has at least one five-pointed star on it. One star represent for deputy posts (except level of vice chairman of CMC and CMC members and platoon), and two stars for principal posts. The color of stars also differs from ranks, over and include level of corps it is golden and below it is silver.

    Length of service ribbons

    All ribbons except for the rank/billet ribbon centered at the top row are used to represent the wearer's length of service, similar to the U.S. military's service stripes.
