United States Coast Guard Coxswain Badge - Miniature Size

Mini Dress Insignia | Leadership Qualification | Precision Detail

The United States Coast Guard Coxswain Badge – Miniature Size recognizes a service member entrusted with command authority aboard Coast Guard small boats. Coxswains are responsible not only for vessel operations, but for the safety, readiness, and performance of every crew member on board- an operational leadership role comparable to officer-level responsibility in other branches.

This miniature Coxswain insignia is designed specifically for formal and dress uniform applications, offering the same symbolic meaning as the full-size badge in a scaled, refined profile. Precision-crafted in metal with clean detailing, it delivers a sharp, professional appearance appropriate for ceremonies, formal events, and commemorative displays.

The Coxswain badge represents a qualification earned through demonstrated competence and experience. While it ranks below the Surfman insignia, it stands on its own as a respected mark of maritime leadership and accountability within the Coast Guard.

At Pin-iT Military Uniform Tools, we focus on uniform accessories that meet real-world wear standards- this miniature badge is built for service members who care about accuracy, presentation, and long-term durability.
