The OCP rank insignia, badges, name, and service tapes are now a lighter, three-color background pattern instead of the previous seven-color pattern. This modification aims to enhance readability and facilitate easier recognition of ranks, addressing the challenge posed by the previous seven-color background. By simplifying these features without compromising the overall functionality of the uniform, the transition seeks to improve situational awareness in day-to-day interactions for military personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bradley's Surplus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49228215287963,"sku":"B200019","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/1LT_1st_Lieutenant_Army_Rank_OCP_Patch_2x2_Hook_Loop_Pair-685af1b91f783.jpg?v=1786233631","url":"https:\/\/www.statesideqm.com\/products\/1lt-1st-lieutenant-army-rank-ocp-patch-2x2-hook-loop-pair","provider":"Stateside Quartermaster, Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
