Combat Service ID Badges are metal facsimiles based upon the design of the color version of a unit’s Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and are worn with the coat of the Army Service/Dress uniforms and the jacket of the Mess/Evening Mess uniforms. CSIBs are worn on the right side with no more than one other ID badge beside it; Soldiers are given the option to move other right-side ID badges to the left in order to give the CSIB more prominence (the number of ID badges on the left side remains limited to two, however). See Section 22-17 (
pp. 331 through
333) of the January 2021 edition of DA 670-17 for full guidance on CSIB wear.
In September 2010, the 361st Civil Affairs Brigade was reactivated following nearly eleven years to become the Army’s first Civil Affairs unit based in Europe. This was not the Brigade’s first foray in Europe, however. As part of the NATO-led Implementation Force to carry out the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia-Hercegovina, the Brigade was assigned to Task Force Eagle, the American designation for Multi-National Division (North).
For its service between November 1996 and October 1997, Detachment of the Brigade’s Headquarters and Headquarters Company was awarded two Army Superior Unit Awards, the first for its support of Task Force Eagle Covering Force (November 1996 to April 1997) and the second for its work in Task Force Eagle Stabilization Force (April to October 1997).
