U.S. ARMY Special Forces Blue Tab Patch by COMMANDO
The U.S. Army Special Forces Blue Tab is one of the most recognisable qualification insignia associated with the United States Army's Green Berets. Known as the Special Forces Tab, or the “Long Tab”, it identifies soldiers who have successfully completed the demanding Special Forces qualification training. The tab represents a significant professional achievement and a lasting connection to the Army's Special Forces community.
The cloth Special Forces Tab was officially approved by the U.S. Army Chief of Staff on 17 June 1983, following a request from the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center. Its introduction gave qualified personnel a distinct insignia recognising their specialist training. The official design features a teal-blue background and border with yellow embroidered lettering. These colours are shared with the shoulder sleeve insignia worn by Army Special Forces Groups, linking the tab visually to the wider Special Forces identity.
The qualification is awarded to soldiers who successfully complete the Special Forces Qualification Course or the recognised Special Forces officer qualification course. The training develops the specialist skills required for unconventional warfare, foreign internal defence, reconnaissance, and other specialised military operations. Unlike many unit identifiers, the Special Forces Tab remains authorised for wear throughout a qualified soldier's military career, including when they are no longer serving in a Special Forces unit.
