Order Of Precedence Us Army Qualification Badges

List

The order of precedence for combat and special skill badges are established only by group. There is no precedence for combat or special skill badges within the same group. For example, personnel who are authorized to wear the Parachutist and Air Assault badges may determine the order of wear between those two badges. Badges of the United States Army are military decorations issued by the United States Department of the Army to soldiers who achieve a variety of qualifications and accomplishments while serving on active and reserve duty in the United States Army. As described in Army Regulations 670-1 Uniforms. Those sort of numbers explain why Col. Frank Foster just published the third and greatly expanded edition of United States Army Medals, Badges and Insignia. The handsomely bound book, printed in the United States, has been expanded to almost 200 lavishly illustrated pages.

Somewhere along the way I was given the impression that the awarding of a marksmanship badge was only good for a year since a soldier is supposed to qualify at least annually. So if I am awarded an expert rifle badge in Jul 05 by Jul 06 I need to either re-qualify or war nothing.But now I get to reading up and according to AR 600-8-22 Section IV Para 8-44.a. It gives no time requirement only 'qualification last attained'. So since I have been deployed, on TDY, and PCS'ed and haven't qualified in several years I should still be wearing the badge of my last qualification.Can someone reference something in writing saying qualification with the M4 means the awarding of the 'Carbine' component bar.I am also unable to find anything referring to the awarding of a Grenadier badge. AR 600-8-22 Table 8-2 has a list of weapons and the respective component bard that are authorized but no mention of hand grenade or grenade launcher.Help?

I belive the time period was a year. Things might have changed since I ETS'd in 1992.ETA: This is all I could find under AR 670-1;(2) How worn. Marksmanship badges are worn in order of precedence from the wearer's right, and to the left of any special skill badges that are worn. Normally, all soldiers wear at least one marksmanship badge, unless they fail to qualify or are exempt from qualification by Army regulations. Originally Posted By TANGOCHASER:AR 600-8-22 which covers the authorization for wear of awards now says 'wear the badge of last qualification'.Not to be picky but the quote is actually 'qualification last attained'.And I am still unable to find any reference to anything Grenade related in AR 600-8-22 'Military Awards.'

No reference to Hand Grenade, M203 or MK19 and the respective component bars that are awarded upon qualification.Does anyone know what AR this is found in?A new thought just popped up. How to run sven coop server. When you qualify with the M203 (I suspect the MK19 is the same way) you are called 'Grenadier, First Class', 'Grenadier, Second Class', or 'Grenadier, Third Class' depending on your score. Would the component bar hang under the same Basic, Sharpshooter and Expert badge as for Rifle? No reference to Hand Grenade, M203 or MK19 and the respective component bars that are awarded upon qualification.Does anyone know what AR this is found in?AR 600-8-22, para 8-44 and table 8-2.A new thought just popped up.

Ok, yeah that is where this stared.

To revisit my original post:Originally Posted By Detslider:I am also unable to find anything referring to the awarding of a Grenadier badge. AR 600-8-22 Table 8-2 has a list of weapons and the respective component bard that are authorized but no mention of hand grenade or grenade launcher.I did miss the 'Grenade' part of that table. But hand grenade and grenade launcher are two completely different systems. Is there no 'Grenadier' component bar?Not trying to provoke argument or beat a dead horse just of the feeling that there has to be more written guidance somewhere.edited for spelling.

Like the dude above me said, I would have badges down to my belt if I stuck everything on. Pistol, rifle, MG(both.50 and 19) GRENADE, do they have one for ATGM? I'm Javelin qualified too.Javelin is the 'Missle' badge.Wearing grenade is gay, but not as gay as wearing bayonet.

Do all active duty Soldiers qualify for the GWOTSM automatically?In Mar 04, Senior Army leadership made the determination that all active duty Soldiers serving on active duty since 11 Sep 01 had served in someway in support of GWOT. Therefore, Soldiers serving on active duty at that time were all authorized the GWOTSM. After Mar 04, the award approval authority, Battalion Commanders, must determine that a Soldier serving on active duty after the release of the message has qualified for the GWOTSM.Are Soldiers who have just graduated AIT automatically entitled to the GWOTSM?Negative. Soldiers serving on active duty primarily in a training status (basic training, advanced individual training, officer training courses, etc.) are not authorized award of the GWOTSM for the active duty time they are in training. After Mar 04, the award approval authority, Battalion Commanders, must determine that a Soldier serving on active duty after the release of the message has qualified for the GWOTSM.

(Though since the Iraq and Afghanistan Campaign medals have been aproved I doubt there are many guys who are awarded it)The message above shows that all Active Duty soldiers are eligible for the GWOTSM and also shows the disclaimer that prevents National Guard or Reserve Soldiers from being awarded the medal when they are on a temporary Active Duty status.

Wearer's choice, but you only could get one. Not quite right.

If you deploy to both Iraq and Afghanistan in the same deployment period you have to choose your medal.' Individuals may receive both the medals if they meet the requirement of both awards; however, the qualifying period of service used to establish eligibility for one award cannot be used to justify eligibility for the other.You may recieve either the GWOTEM or a campain medal, not both. You amy recieve the GWOTSM and both campaign medals because you don't need to deploy to a combat zone for the GWOTSM.Posted By Detslider:yes, and assuming you recieved an ICM or ACM for your first deployment a GWOTEM is your only option for your second depoloyment since you may recieve only one ACM or ICM and no Sevice Stars are prescribed.

I'm just assuming that most guys who served in Iraq or Afghanistan would rather be awarded a medal which directly states what AO they deployed to.Actually, our state offers some kind of tax incentive to authorized wearers of the GWOTEM, yet they have not yet ammended it to include ACM/ICM, therefore most guys picked the GWOTEM.I chose the ICM.The GWOTEM is also authorized for other anti terror deployments like N.Africa, etc. Originally Posted By Stottman:Originally Posted By deadcat:Originally Posted By Stottman:Originally Posted By deadcat:Originally Posted By SgtGold:Forgive him for he is Cav, and knows not what he speaks.Cav unit, but 11B trained:P BTW we are getting flagged 2ID in 2 months anyway, so yeah whatever.I wear my expert rifle badge and thats it and I really don't even like to wear that cause its kinda expected.

Who knows why?and also, grenade is for hand grenades only, theres a 203 badge for a 203. Originally Posted By JSteensen:So does the SAW count as a Automatic Rifle or Machine Gun?

I've never seen an AR badge before. Also, how many bars can be worn per badge? I've qualified with the SAW, M-16, M-4, M9, Mk19, AT-4, and hand grenade.

Only current ones (within the last six months - our unit does the every six months quals cause of being MPs I guess.) are the SAW, M9, and Mk19, but can I wear bars for them all? Marksmanship Badges have caused me much confusion. Lola buddy of mine did both courses with an M249.

The AR course is using the bipod and all like normal, for the LMG course he had to use it affixed to a tripod and use the T&E mechanisms etc.
