Army Master EOD Badge – Explosive Ordnance Disposal OCP Sew-On Patch

The official Army Master EOD Badge recognizes the highest level of proficiency and experience in Explosive Ordnance Disposal. This sew-on patch is made with regulation 3-color Scorpion W2 OCP fabric for the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). Authentic U.S. Army Master EOD Badge in OCP sew-on format Approved for permanent attachment to the Army Combat Uniform Symbolizes mastery in Explosive Ordnance Disposal operations Made in the USA to meet Army uniform specifications Why does my OCP patch or name tape look lighter than previous issued patches and name tapes? In an effort to standardize insignia across the Army, Air Force, and Space Force, The Institute of Heraldry collaborated with PEO-S to transition each branches insignia. The OCP rank insignia, badges, name, and service tapes are now a lighter, three-color background pattern instead of the previous seven-color pattern. This modification aims to enhance readability and facilitate easier recognition of ranks, addressing the challenge posed by the previous seven-color background. By simplifying these features without compromising the overall functionality of the uniform, the transition seeks to improve situational awareness in day-to-day interactions for military personnel.
