The badge has remained unchanged in appearance since it was first created, but the name was changed in 1982 from the ''Army General Staff Identification Badge'' to the ''Army Staff Identification Badge'', and the eligibility criteria have evolved.<ref>[http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/badges/ArmyStaffIDBadge.htm The Institute of Heraldry - Army Staff Identification Badge] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080401121931/http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/badges/ArmyStaffIDBadge.htm |date=April 1, 2008 }}</ref> On a United States Army uniform, the Army Staff Identification Badge is worn centered on the right breast pocket; however, per ALARACT 203/2010 wear of the Army Staff Identification Badge is authorized on the left breast pocket when worn in conjunction with a deployment CSIB ([[Combat Service Identification Badge]]) <ref>[https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/r670_1.pdf Army Regulation 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia]</ref> A similar Army Staff Lapel Pin is authorized for civilian employees of the Department of the Army, regardless of grade, who fill an eligible position in an HQDA agency for no less than one year.<ref name="DAMemo"/>
