b. Wear of combat and special skill badges.
(1) Wear of commercial, mirror-like finish combat and special skill badges is authorized. However, soldiers may not
mix these badges with combat and special skill badges that do not have the mirror-like finish.
(2) A total of five combat and special skill badges are authorized for wear at one time; this total does not include
special skill tabs (see figs 29–52 and 29–53). Personnel may wear only one badge each from groups 1, 2, and 3, as
listed in paragraph a, above. Personnel also may wear three badges from group 4, and two badges from group 5, but
the total number of badges cannot exceed five. Combat badges have precedence over special skill badges within the
same group. For example, if an individual is authorized to wear the Combat Infantry badge and the Expert Infantry
badge, the Combat Infantry badge is worn. There is no precedence for 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. The above policies apply to the wear of both non-subdued and subdued badges.
