Ranger tab

The Ranger Tab is a service school qualification tab of the United States Army, awarded to any soldier who completes Ranger School at the U.S. Army Fort Moore, Georgia. Soldiers who are awarded the Ranger Tab are authorized to wear it for the remainder of their military careers. The Ranger Tab is considered the pre-eminent award for soldiers in combat arms branches within the United States Army. It is considered an unwritten rule in the Infantry Branch that a Ranger Tab is required to achieve full career success, with the majority of commissioned and non-commissioned officers serving in battalion and above leadership roles (within brigade combat teams and infantry divisions) holding the award.
