What does an arrowhead represent?

• A. a field promotion indicator.
• B. denotes participation in a combat parachute jump, combat glider landing, or an amphibious assault landing.
• C. marksmanship excellence.
• D. a special skill badge.

Answer: (B)

The arrowhead is a device used to show participation in an assault landing operation. It denotes that a Soldier took part in a combat parachute jump, a combat glider landing, or an amphibious assault landing. This makes it a specific mark of involvement in airborne/air-landing or amphibious operations.

So the option describing participation in those kinds of combat assault jumps or landings is the correct one. The other ideas—field promotions, marksmanship excellence, or a general special skill badge—are indicated by different indicators and devices, not the arrowhead.
