Badges

Badges are awarded to soldiers who have completed specific courses or tests successfully. Some types of badges, such as the Explosive and Armament badges, also indicate the vocation specialty of the bearer.
Arms Badges
The Arms Badge reflects the Arms the servicemen are from. The purpose is to instill confidence and pride in the individual Arms and celebrate the tapestry of its culture. It will be worn on the right shirt collar.
Formation/HQ Patch
The Formation/HQ patch is a new addition to our Army No. 4 dress. Worn on the right side of the sleeve, it serves to reinforce our servicemen's identity with their own Formation and HQ. The Formation/HQ Patch will also be weaved on olive green background to ensure consistency with the other Badges/Tabs.
