	Issue Regulations: Special Forces Badge 
http://www.amervets.com/replacement/armysf.htm#isr

The Special Forces branch insignia was authorized in 1987 for wear by personnel
in the Special Forces branch. It was previously authorized in 1984 for wear by
enlisted personnel in Career Management Field 18 (Special Operations).
Originally (from 1890 to 1926), crossed arrows were prescribed for wear by
Indian Scouts. During World War II, the crossed arrows were worn as collar
insignia by officers and enlisted personnel assigned to the First Special
Service Force.
