Brigade Insignia Of The United States Army
A shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) is an embroidered emblem worn on the sleeves of some United States Army uniforms to identify the primary headquarters to which a soldier is assigned. Like division sized units, separate brigades of the U.S. Army are allowed their own SSI to distinguish their wearers from those of other units. Most military units smaller than brigades do not have SSI, but rather wear the SSI of a higher headquarters. The following list of SSIs represent some of the current and former brigades of the U.S. Army: Air defense artillery Brigades File:ADA School SSI.svg, 6th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:11ADABdeSSI.svg, 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:30FABdeSSI.jpg, 30th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:31ADABdeSSI.svg, 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:35ADABdeSSI.svg, 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:USA - 38th Artillery Brigade.png, 38th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:69ADABdeSSI.svg, 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade File:94thA ...

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (United States Army)
A shoulder sleeve insignia (often abbreviated SSI) is an embroidered patch worn on some uniforms of the United States Army. It is used by major formations of the U.S. Army; each formation has a unique formation patch. The U.S. Army is unique among the U.S. Armed Forces in that all soldiers are required to wear the patch of their headquarters as part of their military uniforms. Shoulder sleeve insignia receive their name from the fact that they are most commonly worn on the upper left sleeve of the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) and Army Green uniform. However, they can be placed on other locations, notably on the side of a helmet. Shoulder sleeve insignia worn on the upper right sleeve of Army uniforms denote former wartime service. These "combat patches" are worn on the ACU and the new Army Greens but are not worn on the Army Service Uniform. Instead, a 2 inch metal replica is worn on the right breast pocket and is officially known as the Combat Service Identification Badge (CS ...
