Military Chevrons β Rank Insignia and Uniform Patches
What are military chevrons?
Military chevrons are an essential element of military and tactical uniforms, serving both functional and identification purposes. Like patches and shoulder straps, they are attached to the shoulders of jackets, shirts, or outerwear and indicate a personβs rank, position, or affiliation within a military or law enforcement structure. Besides their informative role, army chevrons contribute to the uniform's overall look, maintaining a professional and cohesive appearance among personnel.
Who are they for?
These accessories are essential for soldiers, officers, and members of paramilitary or security units, helping to determine hierarchy and distinguish between different ranks and units quickly. In addition, military chevrons are often used in reenactments, airsoft, paintball, or by collectors who appreciate authentic military gear. Along with flags, they are also great souvenirs for Ukraine supporters.
