National Guard Recruiting And Retention Badge

Recruiters for the US Army and Army Reserve wear the Army Recruiter Identification Badge.

Recruiters assigned to the Army National Guard wear a distinct Army National Guard Recruiter and Retention Badge which depicts the minuteman in the center of the badge. The Army National Guard Recruiter and Retention Badge is awarded in three degrees (basic, senior, and master). The basic badge is unique in its design while the senior and master badges are similar in appearance with the master badge displaying the words "Peritus" in a gold arch at the top of the badge.

The basic and senior versions of the Army National Guard Recruiter and Retention Badge are temporary badges that must be surrendered upon the completion of a Guardsman's recruiting assignment. However, the master version of this badge is awarded to Guardsman as a permanent award.
