U. S. ARMY SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA AUTHORIZED SINC E 1989 (Revised June 2013)

I invite my friends to use this document freely an d share with other collectors. It was created to identify SSI authorized by TIOH after the publication of Richard W. Smith’s book “Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the U.S. Army 1946 - 19 89” so I have selected 1 January 1990 as the starting point for this document. I have not a ddressed redesignations of pre-1990 SSIs, but the 1106th and 1109th Signal Brigades are inclu ded in this document because their new brigade number designation can cause confusion. Co llectors are finding several of the new patches with size and color variations. The only va riations listed in this document are those that are documented TIOH changes of the original de sign of the SSI. I want to thank COL Mike Jorgensen for meticulously editing and adding to th is document.

Enjoy, LTC John Monis (Ret)
