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

The official Senior Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Badge represents advanced training and experience in the Army EOD field. This sew-on patch is embroidered on regulation 3-color OCP Scorpion W2 fabric and is approved for wear on the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). Authentic U.S. Army Senior EOD Badge patch Made with regulation 3-color OCP Scorpion W2 fabric Sew-on style for permanent application to the ACU Approved for wear by soldiers qualified as Senior EOD Technicians Made in the USA to meet official Army 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.
