I see them posted wrong sometimes and wanted to help everyone out.
This is for the Army as non of the other branches have been made yet.

First off, almost all patches should be in their subdued (non-bright) colors when wearing their uniforms. Only dress uniforms should use the brighter colored versions.

Here is the order from Right to Left:

Right Shoulder Top
- Reversed American Flag (Momentum Forward) as we are in wartime.
- Regular American Flag

Right Shoulder Bottom
- Shoulder Sleeve Insignia-Former Wartime Service (SSI-FWS) can be worn by all Joes as they have been sdeployed in combat zones for 30 days or more. Usually the same as the left SSI.

Right Chest
- Code Name Tape (GI Joe is a Unit where you don't exist, therefor code name should be used.)[/U]
- Surname Tape

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Left Shoulder Top
- Individual Skill You can wear up to 3 at a time: (For Example: Special Forces/Ranger)

Left Shoulder Bottom
- Mountain Tab on top of the SSI
- Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) aka the Formation patch.

Left Chest
- G.I. Joe
- Armed forces Branch Tape (US ARMY)

Don't you still owe me money?
 
I was in the marines and I forget what side the name goes and what side the branch goes sometimes.
 
but that's not a patch, it's a box. there is a subtle difference.
