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.
