Which list correctly enumerates the four badge types?

• A. Marksmanship, Combat and Special Skill badges, Identification badges, and Foreign badges
• B. Marksmanship, Combat badges, Identification badges, and Foreign badges
• C. Marksmanship, Safety badges, Identification badges, and Foreign badges
• D. Marksmanship, Unit badges, Identification badges, and Foreign badges

Answer: (A)

AR 670-1 classifies all military badges into four categories: Marksmanship Badges; Combat and Special Skill Badges; Identification Badges; and Foreign Badges. This four-way grouping is the official way the Army organizes how badges are worn and earned. The list in question matches that taxonomy exactly, listing Marksmanship, Combat and Special Skill Badges, Identification Badges, and Foreign Badges.

The other options drift from this standard by altering the category names or substituting terms that aren’t recognized as a badge type in AR 670-1 (for example, using “Combat badges” instead of the combined “Combat and Special Skill Badges,” or introducing categories like Safety or Unit badges that aren’t part of the four sanctioned badge types).
