US Army Infantry Blue Fourragere Cord . FLU5048

United States Army Infantry Blue Fourragere Cord. Light blue infantry color. Most likely 1960s-1970s (Vietnam) era. Heavily worn condition.

Additional Notes: No cord in the Army holds as much recognition as the Infantry Blue Cord. Exclusively authorized by regulation, it identifies a soldier as a trained infantryman. Earning it requires completion of rigorous training such as One Station Unit Training (OSUT) or Advanced Individual Training (AIT). Once awarded, the cord is worn on the right shoulder of the dress uniform, standing out as a clear marker of branch affiliation. It not only represents technical training and qualification but also carries symbolic weight, connecting modern soldiers with generations of infantry service. The blue cord becomes a visual reminder of sacrifice, combat readiness, and the honored position of the infantry within the Army.
