Abstract: Marking panels for the identification of field personnel can include (i) a first side, (ii) a second side transverse to the first side and intersecting the first side at a junction, (iii) a front surface at least partially defined by the first and second sides and which includes an insignia, (iv) a rear surface opposite the front surface and at least partially defined by the first and second sides and which includes an optical enhancer attachment site, and (v) a first multi-modal anchoring mechanism disposed proximate the junction of the first and second sides. The first multi-modal anchoring mechanism can include a pocket; a fixed loop, and a selectively attachable loop. The pocket can contain a magnet for selectively affixing the marking panel to a ferromagnetic object.
