OEF 11-12 Chaplains OCP Uniform Set

[LetsGo82nd]

Picked this set up at least 10 years ago.  It is an OCP uniform set that belonged to a Chaplain from the OEF 2011-12 deployment.  I haven’t looked into what unit the Chaplain was with but that might be an interesting project.  The name on the top was marked out but it remains on the trousers.  Chaplains do invaluable work on deployments and it has always been an honor to maintain this set.

In 30 years active, I never saw branch insignia worn above the name tag area (right chest).  Any ideas when and if this was an authorized location?  Thanks in advance.

Yes it is and has been so for 20 years now. Things change.  Was authorized when the ACU was introduced in 2006.  Officer rank and branch was removed from the collars.

But, only for chaplains, correct?

Correct; no other branch insignia is on the chest.
