How to Use ASP Training Patches for Team ID

Quick answer

Use ASP training patches to quickly identify team members by role, country, or skill level during training exercises and events.

Step-by-step guide

1. Select the correct patch for each role: Choose a patch that clearly indicates the wearer's team, country, or instructor status. Use the International Training Team Patches for country-specific identification. Avoid using generic patches that don't convey role or nationality.
2. Attach the patch to the dominant shoulder or chest area: Place the patch on the upper arm or chest pocket of your training vest or uniform. Ensure it is visible from the front and side angles. Check that the patch is not covered by a sling, vest, or backpack strap.
3. Secure the patch properly: For hook-and-loop patches, press firmly onto the loop panel. For sew-on patches, stitch around the edges with a needle and thread or use a sewing machine. Loose patches can snag or fall off during physical drills.
4. Test visibility during a dry run: Have team members stand in formation or move through a simple drill. Confirm that patches are readable from at least 10 feet away. If patches are hard to read, consider moving them to a higher contrast background.
5. Establish a patch code for your team: Assign specific patches to specific roles: for example, red patches for instructors, blue for trainees, and country patches for international teams. Document the code and distribute it to all team members to avoid confusion.
