Army approves combat patches for soldiers in Iran war zone
In the US, a new policy has been confirmed by the Army. It affects soldiers deployed to certain regions, including parts of the Middle East and Africa. These soldiers are now allowed to wear a specific insignia on their uniforms.
The policy change applies to all soldiers, regardless of whether they are on active duty, in the Reserve, or in the National Guard. Further details about the policy can be found through the Army's official channels. The insignia is worn on the uniform as a symbol of service in hostile conditions.
Soldiers will wear it on the right shoulder of their uniform, rather than the left.
