We also wear the same patch on our patrol cap or helmet. Only officers wear their rank on the beret, enlisted wear their unit crest. We do not generally remove our rank in combat, with all the gear attached to our armor, it is difficult to make out from a distance, and an enemy can generally tell the person in charge since they are the ones shouting orders and pointing things out to the rest of the troops.

High rank makes people a target and people in their squad should know who the people of rank are without the need of identification patches. They have a little patch that goes on their collar in front of their throat stuck on by Velcro so it can be put on and taken off with ease. They don’t wear rank in the field.

Here you see where it is for my Command Sergeant Major: http://www.usarj.army.mil/organization/10asg/csm.aspx For our class A's, you see my commander here has it on his shoulder: http://www.usarj.army.mil/organization/10asg/cdr.aspx We have a little velcro patch on our chest for rank.

Keep it simple and not mess w/ time that could be used in other things like making sure you're all still alive.
