How to Wear the Army Combat Patch
Once soldiers report to their first units, they should wear their command's combat patch on their left sleeves. When deployed to a designated combat zone, soldiers also may wear the company-level or higher patch on their right sleeves to reflect the units in which they serve.
The right sleeve is used to signify what unit you were deployed into combat zones with; thus, it is called the Combat Patch. The left sleeve unit patch denotes what unit you are currently serving with.
The guidance states that when echelons below company level deploy, soldiers in those units may now wear the combat patch of the lowest-echelon command they deploy with, as long as it's at company level or higher.
Of what significance is this? I need Hopium!
People are sayng 10th Mountain Division has been deployed. All I see is people who have a 10th Mountain combat patch, which is on the right shoulder, current unit is on the left. This was just to inform and educate people what the hell they are looking at so people quit putting out false info. My combat patch is 1AD with flag, 2 tours with same unit.
So people who are in the 10th Mountain Division is being deployed, but not the Division itself, according to the patches?
NO..NO...NO. The person in the video going around at one time in the past served in the 10rh Mountain, he is NOW not part of the 10th Mountain. NO 10th Mountain in D.C. from the videos that I have seen.........
Oh. So, he was in it at one time! Okay, that makes more sense.
Yes, he wears the 10th Mountain Combat patch, which means at one time in the past he was deployed in Combat Operations with the 10th Mountain. Any patch that appears to be 10th Mountain on the left shoulder is not 10th Mountain without the Mountain tab. 10th Mountain is the only unit to have the Mountain tab.
It's called horizontal flip. That's what happens when you use your rear camera to film a television.
