Badges of the United States Army are Military Decorations of the U.S. Army which are displayed on Army uniforms to denote a variety of qualifications and accomplishments to military service members. Most U.S. Army badges are considered "inter-service" meaning that regulations permit their display and wear on uniforms of other branches of the United States Armed Forces , should a service member reenlist or become an Officer in a different service of the miltiary. AR 670-1 states that soldiers may wear only one badge each from Groups 1, 2, and 3, three from Group 4, and two from Group 5. These badges are worn in order of precedence (Group 1 the highest). Marksmanship badges are worn after any special skill badge. And only a total of five badges are authorized for wear at one time. This does not include sleeve markings, shoulder tabs (sew on versions; metal versions count as Group 4 and worn only on Army Dress Blue), or identification badges.
