Army uniform showing different ways to wear the badges
Badges of the Danish Military are military decorations issued to soldiers who achieve a variety of qualifications and accomplishments while serving active or reserve duty in the Danish military. They are worn, on the service dress or barracks dress, either right above or on the breast pocket, depending on whether there are Danish Parachutist Brevets.[1] There is no limit to the number worn and there is no designated order for the badges.[2]
The badges were first created by the Danish Brigade in Exile,[3] in order to show proficiency.[4] It did however not see official and wide use until the 1950s, when standardized versions were introduced.
