ABOUT UNIFORM INSIGNIAS  O OZNAKAMA NA UNIFORMAMA

      Od 2009. godine novim pravilnikom su uvedene slijedeće promjene. Oznaka roda (grane) pokazuje kojem rodu nositelj pripada. Cilj je povećati samopovjerenje i ponos na granu kojoj pripada. Oznaka roda se nosi na desnom reveru košulje. Oznake specijalnosti su vezene na maslinasto-zelenoj platnenoj podlozi, dok dizajn samog znaka specijalnosti nije mijenjan. Novi dodatak uniformi KOV-a je našitak (ševron) sa oznakom formacije ili komande koji se nosi na desnom rukavu uniforme. I on je vezen na smb platnenoj podlozi kako bi se osigurala usklađenost izgleda sa ostalim vrstama oznaka. Oznake specijalnosti (znanja) se nose na lijevom rukavu, ali je broj ograničen na samo dvije, npr. ranger i gardist. Uvedena je i oznaka sa nazivom zemlje, koja se nosi na lijevoj strani prsa, iznad džepa. Riječ „SINGAPORE“ je izvezena na smb podlozi, a ne na maskirnoj, kao što je prije bio slučaj. Po istom principu je standardizirana i platnena oznaka sa imenom, koja se nosi iznad desnog džepa na prsima.

      The Arms Badge reflects the Arms the servicemen are from. The purpose is to instill confidence and pride in the individual Arms and celebrate the tapestry of its culture. It is worn on the right shirt collar. All the Skills Badges will be weaved on olive green base cloth. The design of the badge remains unchanged. The Formation/HQ patch is a new addition to our Army No. 4 dress. Worn on the right side of the sleeve, it serves to reinforce our servicemen's identity with their own Formation and HQ. The Formation/HQ Patch will also be weaved on olive green background to ensure consistency with the other Badges/Tabs. There can only be a maximum of 2 Skills Tabs worn on the left sleeve. ie. Ranger and Guards Tabs. A Country Tag has been introduced to our No. 4 uniform to manifest the servicemen's pledge to Singapore. The word "SINGAPORE" is embroidered on an olive green base cloth instead of the camouflage pattern background. To standardise all dress accessories, the background colour of the Name Tag has also been changed to olive green.
