Since the Army moved on to the ASU, the color insignia of individual formations is no longer worn in any uniform. Some commands have made exception for special occasions such as change of command ceremonies or unit redeployments from combat areas. In garrison environments we wear the full color U.S. Flag on the ACU/OCP uniforms, but only wear subdued SSI. Since the SSI are now exclusively velcro backed and easily interchangeable, why not wear full color SSI's in garrison environments?

Or just be a part of these heart breakers and life takers and wear it downrange (Love the BRO)..... But other than that, I see no real reason why we couldn't wear colored patches in Garrison. It wouldn't be hard to do, but with the speed the Army works at times, our grand kids would still be waiting for this 15 years into their careers to be approved after going through 30 different service polls, multiple uniform boards, opinions by news pundits, and the massive amount of butthurt from units who have crappy colors in their patches.
