In recent months, I have observed certain troops wearing a patch on their left shoulders that displays their branch, specifically "MP" or "CBRN." Is this just occurring on FT Bragg? What are your thoughts on branch patches? Where in the regulations does it state this is authorized? Would you like to see this practice go Army-wide, where all Soldiers get to wear a branch patch?

In Korea our CBRN wore their patches as did the MPs at all my duty stations. MPs and CBRN are not wearing "branch" patches. They are wearing patches that signify their "duty" such as CBRN operations and MP operations.

I think we should go back to wearing branch insignia on the collar of the uniform. I was not in while that was in practice, but I think it is a great way to find common ground among fellow Soldiers.
I am a Forward Observer in a light infantry battalion and I am very proud of my MOS. I love my infantry brothers, but it is nice to run across other FiSTers and be able to share stories with guys that have similar experiences.

Enlisted Soldiers and NCOs never wore branch insignia on Fatigues, BDUs or field uniforms, only officers. Enlisted and NCOs wore rank on both collars
