In the United States (U.S.), a marksmanship badge is a U.S. military badge or a civilian badge which is awarded to personnel upon successful completion of a weapons qualification course (known as marksmanship qualification badges) or high achievement in an official marksmanship competition (known as marksmanship competition badges).
The U.S. Army awards Army Marksmanship Qualification Badges to its soldiers, U.S. Army uniformed civilian guards, and foreign military personnel, while the CMP awards these same badges to U.S. civilians who qualify at three different qualification levels (highest to lowest): expert, sharpshooter, and marksman. Suspended from the badge are Army Weapon Qualification Clasps that indicate the type of weapon the individual has qualified to use. The following list of Army Weapon Qualification Clasps are currently authorized under U.S. Army Pamphlet 670-1:
RIFLE | PISTOL | AA ARTILLERY | AUTO RIFLE |
MACHINEGUN | FIELD ARTILLERY | TANK WEAPONS | FLAMETHROWER |
SUBMACHINE GUN | ROCKET LAUNCHER | GRENADE | CARBINE |
RECOILLESS RIFLE | MORTAR | BAYONET | SMALL BORE RIFLE |
SMALL BORE PISTOL | MISSILE | AERO WEAPONS |
