The brass badge has a serial number with a prefix denoting member service, and has been given since 1945 where the only change to its appearance is the replacement of the crown of King George VI with the crown of Queen Elizabeth.

AASM replacement with Medal of Service Operation announced in May 2012; The RASB has retired with AASM, with the Operational Service Badge filling the role of a badge showing the members' war services.
