Parachutist Badge (United States)

The parachutist badge, also commonly referred to as jump wings, is a military badge of the United States Armed Forces. The military parachutist badge is awarded to all military personnel of any service who complete the US Army Basic Airborne Course at Fort Benning, Georgia. It signifies that the service member is a trained military parachutist, and is qualified to participate in airborne operations. The badge and its sew-on equivalent may be worn on the Army Combat Uniform (ACU).

Some services, such as the Marine Corps, officially refer to it as an insignia instead of a badge. The United States Space Force and United States Coast Guard are the only branches that do not award any parachutist badges, but their members are authorized to receive the parachutist badges of other services in accordance with their prescribed requirements. The DoD military services are all awarded the same military parachutist badge. The U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force issue the same senior and master parachutist badges while the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps issue the Navy and Marine Corps parachutist insignia to advanced parachutists. The majority of the services earn their military parachutist badge through the U.S. Army Airborne School.
