Which description correctly defines the AAS fourragère?

• A. Single loop, square weave, blue and gold, multi-strand cord.
• B. Double loop, round weave, blue and white.
• C. Simplified gold cord with red thread.
• D. Plain black braid.

Answer: (A)

The fourragère for Arnold Air Society signals membership and tradition within the organization. For Detachment 380, the official description is a blue and gold, multi-strand cord formed into a single loop with a square weave. This exact combination—blue and gold colors, the square weave, and the single-loop, multi-strand construction—matches the approved AAS fourragère design. Other variants, such as blue and white, plain black, or different weave styles, do not align with the established insignia, so they aren’t correct representations.
