The regulations on the badge were approved by order of the People's Commissar of Defense a little later. The badge was awarded to members of the rank and file and junior commanding staff of the Red Army who systematically show high standards: performing command tasks while conducting reconnaissance in combat; obtaining data revealing the location, composition, grouping, nature of actions, firing system, intentions and combat capability of the enemy, samples of weapons, ammunition and other combat materials; capturing enemy control prisoners; timely delivering data to the command; mutual assistance and assistance in combat; daring, courageous actions that cause damage to the enemy with smaller forces; excellent maintenance and conservation of weapons, intelligence equipment and property; maintaining continuous communication with existing intelligence agencies.
