Rank Markings (Helmet) - Army
[1924]     [1949]     [1963]     [Bands]     [Misc]      [Sliders]     [Officer Ranks]     [Army Main]

This series of rank insignia are for wear on the RABINTEX RBH303IE Helmet which was introduced during 2007.  The rank is quite small 25mm x 38mm and is fixed by velcro to the front of the helmet cover.
