JUST IN: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has temporarily removed or suspended mail collection at mail collection box sites in several major cities across the country as cities make security preparations ahead of next week’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

82nd Airborne in D.C.

Not necessarily. If it was a left shoulder patch I would agree with you.

IIRC - right shoulder is for units you were in combat with and left shoulder patches are for current unit.

Any ground pounders care to comment?

Those soldiers who are combat veterans are authorized permanent wear of the SSI of the unit they fought with on their right shoulder. This shoulder sleeve insignia recognizes “former wartime service” and is frequently called a “combat patch”.

Need to see what patch is on the left shoulder to know what unit the person is actively assigned to.

As LonePalm said, the right shoulder underneath the U.S. flag is where U.S. Army soldiers wear the combat patch.

“The insignia is commonly called the combat patch; it is worn on the right sleeve of the uniform just below the American flag to signify the unit served under the United States. It is awarded to Soldiers who are deployed in combat zones for 30 days or more.”

We need to see the soldier’s left shoulder patch in order to determine the soldier’s current unit.
