What is the heritage of the US insigna in a circle for enlisted personnel in the US Air Force?
AnswerThe USAF was formed in 1947 and the enlisted men wore a collar insignia of a "US" inside a round circle with hollow spaces between letters and circle. This collar insignia was silver color. The cap insignia was an eagle in a circle that was also hollowed out.This branch insignia for the USAF comes from the insignia used by the US Army at this time and further back into WW2. However the US Army insignia had the "US" mounted on a solid disc made of Brass. During WW2,, there were 3 different styles. The most common US collar device was a flat disc with the US as a separate piece attached to it. Or it could be formed as 1 piece. Also some were made such that the disc was dome-shaped and not flat.This Army collar device came from the insignia used in WW1. The discs used then were flat with the US molded into the disc. It was much flatter than the WW2 version. The collar devices and the Crossed Rifles for Infantry were first used in the uniform changes of 1904.
US Army officers rank insignia?
Depends on your rank and the uniform. On the Class A uniform and dress blues, enlisted personnel wear fabric insignia on the sleeves, whereas officers wear pin-on insignia on the epaulets. On the Class B uniform, Private (E2), Private First Class (E3), and Specialist (E4) would wear metallic insignia pinned through the collar, whereas Corporal and higher would wear shoulder boards on the epaulets. On the older Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) and Desert Combat Uniform (DCU), rank insignia would be worn on the collar points. On the current Army Combat Uniform (ACU), it is worn on a velcro tab on the front of the uniform. Officers and Warrant Officers wear their rank insignia on the beret, whereas enlisted personnel wear their regimental crest. Rank insignia is usually sewn onto helmet covers - however, this is often a moot point, as the placement of the rank insignia on the kevlar helmet often leaves it covered by the mounting plates for night vision goggles.
