USJFCOM WAS A FUNCTIONAL COMMAND THAT PROVIDED SPECIFIC SERVICES TO THE MILITARY. THE LAST COMMANDER WAS ARMY GEN. RAY ODIERNO. AS DIRECTED BY THE PRESIDENT TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO CUT COSTS AND REBALANCE PRIORITIES, DEFENSE SECRETARY ROBERT GATES RECOMMENDED THAT USJFCOM BE DISESTABLISHED AND ITS ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS REASSIGNED TO OTHER UNIFIED COMBATANT COMMANDS. FORMAL DISESTABLISHMENT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 4, 2011. DEFINITION OF SHOULDER INSIGNIA: AN INSIGNIA TO BE AFFIXED ON THE UPPER EXTREMITY OF THE SLEEVE TO INDICATE AN ORGANIZATION, THEATER OF OPERATION, FORCE ABOUT US ARMY SHOULDER INSIGNIA: A SHOULDER PATCH, TECHNICALLY CALLED SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA (or SSI), IS AN EMBROIDERED PATCH WORN ON SOME UNIFORMS OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY. IT IS USED BY MAJOR FORMATIONS OF THE US ARMY, USUALLY BRIGADE OR DIVISION LEVEL BUT OCCASIONALLY BATTALION, AS IS THE CASE WITH RANGE UNITS. EACH FORMATION OR UNIT, WHEN DESIGNATED, HAS A UNIQUE PATCH. THE US ARMY IS UNIQUE AMONG THE OTHER BRANCHES OF US ARMED FORCES IN THAT ALL SOLDIERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR THE PATCH OF THEIR HEADQUARTERS AS PART OF THEIR MILITARY UNIFORMS. SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA RECEIVE THEIR NAME FROM THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MOST COMMONLY WORN ON THE UPPER LEFT SLEEVE OF THE ARMY DUTY or COMBAT UNIFORM. SSI ARE SOMETIMES PLACED ON OTHER LOCATIONS, LIKE ON THE SIDE OF A COMBAT HELMET COVER TO FURTHER IDENTIFY A SOLDIER’S UNIT AFFILIATION. SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA WORN ON THE UPPER RIGHT SLEEVE OF AN ARMY UNIFORM DENOTES FORMER WARTIME OR COMBAT SERVICE. SUBDUED SSI: THE SUBDUED VERSION OF THE SSI CREATED WAS FOR THE BATTLE DRESS UNIFORM (BDU) ISSUED TO SOLDIERS FROM THE LATE 1970’s THROUGH THE EARLY to MID 2000’s. SUBDUED INSIGNIA PATCHES ARE PRIMARILY OLIVE DRAB GREEN, DARK BROWN AND BLACK, TO MATCH THE WOODLAND CAMOUFLAGE BDU UNIFORM. THERE IS ALSO A SUBDUED VERSION CREATED FOR THE DESERT CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORM (DCU) AND IT IS PRIMARILY TAN AND "SPICE" BROWN, TO MATCH THE DCU UNIFORM'S DESIGN.
