The 330th Medical Brigade Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI), of colloquially called a unit patch, was approved on 6 October 1993 and is the insignia found on the Combat Service ID Badge (CSIB). A torch with a green serpent entwined around it represents leadership in the delivery of medical care and the teaching of medical arts. Crosses have traditionally been associated with medical care units, while the maroon and white quarters of the shield are the colors of the Army’s Medical Corps.
Unit patches are available in ACU and Color formats. Full-color SSI are currently worn on the Army Green Service Uniform introduced in late 2018 and were previously worn on the Army Green Uniform that was discontinued in 2015. (Note: we continue to manufacture and sell the old Army Green Uniform and its accessories uniform in response to high demand from veterans, uniform collectors, and other organizations, available in versions for General Officers, Officers, and Enlisted personnel.)
ACU patches are worn on the Army Combat Uniform and other utility uniforms and are offered with the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) and the old Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). ACUs purchased after July 2015 are manufactured with the OCP, while uniforms made with the old UCP have a wear-out date of 30 September 2019. Please ensure you choose the type of camouflage pattern that matches the uniform on which it will be worn.
