U. S. ARMY SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA AUTHORIZED SINCE 1989
(Revised June 2013)
I invite my friends to use this document freely and 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 - 1989” so I have selected 1 January 1990 as
the starting point for this document. I have not addressed redesignations of pre-1990 SSIs,
but the 1106th and 1109th Signal Brigades are included in this document because their new
brigade number designation can cause confusion. Collectors are finding several of the new
patches with size and color variations. The only variations listed in this document are those
that are documented TIOH changes of the original design of the SSI. I want to thank COL Mike
Jorgensen for meticulously editing and adding to this document.
Enjoy, LTC John Monis (Ret)

However it was rejected and not worn.
