Where should a soldier's rank insignia be displayed?

The rank insignia of a soldier is an important symbol of their position and authority within the Army hierarchy. According to Army regulations, the correct display of a soldier's rank insignia is essential for maintaining uniformity and professionalism.

The correct placement is on both sleeves and the cap. This placement ensures that the insignia is clearly visible from multiple perspectives, allowing for easy recognition of ranks among soldiers and leaders. On the sleeves, the insignia provides a clear display of the rank while allowing for proper wear of the uniform, and the cap signifies rank distinction in formal settings and during ceremonies.

In contrast, placing the rank insignia only on the cap, just on the chest, or on the belt buckle does not adhere to the set guidelines for uniform wear and would not provide adequate visibility needed in the military environment. Having the insignia displayed appropriately reflects the soldier’s standing and fosters respect within the ranks.
