Soldiers who completed the Army’s jungle warfare school can now wear the Jungle tab on their uniform, regardless of where they serve. The Jungle tab originally recognized soldiers who graduated from the Jungle Operations Training Center at Fort Sherman in Panama, also known as the “Green Hell,” until the school shut down in 1999 with the closure of the fort. A soldier takes part in the Jungle Operations Training Course-Panama’s final exercise in May 2026. Previously, the tab was approved for soldiers who finished the Jungle Operations Training Course in Hawaii, but only if they were assigned to units under Army Pacific. The revised Jungle Operations Training Course-Panama is a 21-day experience split into three phases.
