A close-up view of the newly designed 1st Armored Division Gunnery Patch. The division introduced the patch to recognize armored crews who demonstrate unprecedented lethality during Table VI gunnery qualifications. Crews earning a "Distinguished" rating (900+ points) receive a gold star, while those earning a "Superior" rating (800+ points) receive a black star. Soldiers are authorized to wear the patch for one year, serving as a visible symbol of professional excellence and mastery of one of the Army's most demanding combat tasks.
