How many Special Skill Tabs are officially recognized?

The correct number of officially recognized Special Skill Tabs is four. Special Skill Tabs are unique insignia worn on the Army uniform to denote specific specialized training, accomplishments, or qualifications beyond the standard service requirements. The four tabs that currently hold this recognition are:

1. Ranger Tab: Awarded to those who have completed the U.S. Army Ranger School.

2. Special Forces Tab: Given to soldiers who have completed the Special Forces Qualification Course.

3. Sapper Tab: Awarded to engineers who successfully complete the Sapper Leader Course.

4. President’s Hundred Tab: Recognizes the top 100 shooters in the annual President's Hundred Pistol and Rifle Matches.

This helps to establish a soldier's capabilities and areas of expertise, emphasizing their dedication to additional training and operational proficiency. The options representing a different count do not reflect the current official recognition of these tabs in the military. Understanding the significance and the specific tabs aids soldiers in recognizing peers' advanced qualifications and focal areas of expertise within the Army structure.
