HOW DO I REQUEST DESIGN OF A SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA?
A request for SSI should include a copy of the permanent orders activating the unit and a mission statement if the unit is TDA. TIOH will prepare a proposed design and forward it to the unit for concurrence. After the unit commander approves the design, TIOH will prepare a manufacturing drawing and authorization letter for the insignia. TIOH will contract at no cost to the unit for the development of prototype samples and upon its completion will forward the samples to the unit. The unit is also provided instructions on how to obtain the insignia through local purchase procedures. Recently approved SSI are not in the supply system.
