U.S. ARMY RETIRED SOLDIER FOR LIFE SERVICE ID BADGE

Ranked in precedence ahead of the Unified Combatant Commander (UCC) ID and just below the Instructor ID badge, the Retired Service ID Badge is worn only by those personnel who are officially retired from the U.S. Army, and then only on the Army Service/Dress uniform.

In 2014, the Army announced that the Army Career and Alumni Program, ACAP, would immediately designated the Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP), a program created to help Soldiers adjust successfully to civilian life. As part of the Soldier for Life program, the Army also issued this new Retired Service ID Badge (RSIB), but in a wise move decided to authorize the wear of either the old RSIB and its classic U.S. Coat of Arms imagery or the new one featuring the concept of “Soldier for Life.”
