Those graduating from Ranger School are presented with the Ranger Tab which is worn on the upper left sleeve of a military uniform. The tab is permitted for wear for the remainder of a military career, even if an individual is not actively assigned to an Army Ranger unit. The cloth version of the Tab is worn on the battle dress and class A uniform in the Army, and a smaller, metal version is worn on the more formal dress blue and dress mess uniforms.

The Ranger Tab is very similar in design to the U.S. Army's Special Forces Tab and also to the Sapper Tab.
