Coast Guard CPO command identification badge
Chief petty officer (CPO) command identification badges are special United States Navy and United States Coast Guard badges which are issued to the most senior chief petty officer in a given U.S. Navy or U.S. Coast Guard command. The command may either be a shore or surface unit
The appearance of the U.S. Coast Guard's CPO command identification badge is determined by the rank of its holder and the level of the command in which they serve. Unlike the Navy, the Coast Guard has two general categories of CPO command identification badges which can be distinguished by their metallic color, silver or gold.
Silver Coast Guard CPO command identification badges represent non-designated command positions while gold Coast Guard CPO command identification badges are commandant-designated command positions. Non-designated command badges can be found at the unit and command level at pay grades E-7 through E-9. The higher commands are always commandant-designated command positions at the command, area, rating force master chief, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Reserve Force (MCPO-CGRF), and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard level. All commandant-designated command positions are at the command master chief petty officer pay grade.
Prior to the release of the U.S. Coast Guard's March 2012 uniform regulation (M1020.6G), the Coast Guard awarded/issued non-designated sector CPO Command identification badges to the senior most CPO of a Coast Guard sector. Due to the removal of this badge from M1020.6G, it is assumed that the sector CPO command identification badges are no longer awarded/issued but may still be worn by those CPOs that have previously earned them.
