    Connecticut Army National Guard Spc. Joseph Hafez, a combat medic specialist assigned to the 142nd Medical Company (Area Support), wears a medic patch above his shoulder sleeve insignia during a mass casualty exercise, part of annual training, at Fort Drum, New York, Aug. 11, 2023. After Nov. 25, 1924, U.S. Army medical personnel wore an arm brassard, on their left sleeve, similar in style to the patch above, while in the field to identify themselves as medical personnel. This practice was expanded upon further during World War II, where by the end of the war, medics often wore arm brassards on both sleeves, and even painted red crosses on their helmets, to increase the chances of being identified as a medic and not as a combatant.
