Unit History & Information

The Army approved the Parachutist Badge on March 10, 1941, after Captain William Yarborough carried the design through the War Department’s approval process. Major William Miley, commander of the 501st Parachute Battalion, had sent him to Washington to obtain an insignia for soldiers who completed jump training. The open parachute and curved wings became the enduring badge of Army parachute qualification. Senior and master versions later added a star and a wreath, while the basic badge retained the original outline.
