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) AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY BRIGADE 174th 263rd 357th Det AVIATION BRIGADE 16th (Combat) 63rd 77th 78th Troop Cmd 110th 128th 166th 185th 244th 449th 1 BATTLEFIELD SURVEILLANCE BRIGADE 71st 142nd 219th 297th 560th CAVALRY BRIGADE 21st 316th CHEMICAL BRIGADE 3rd 48th 404th 455th CIVIL AFFAIRS BRIGADE 95th 304th 308th 321st 322nd 350th Cmd 2 ENGINEER BRIGADE *1st *2nd *36th Grp/ Bde 111th 168th 176th 225th 372nd 555th Grp/ Bde 926th * The insignia design of the 1st, 2nd & 36th Engineer Brigade were original used during World War II.
