look at the bottom of amerov_z.dds, that is the arm. for the tip of the sleeve, use ame1_sleeve_t.
I am pretty sure for amerov_z.dds that the left side is the top of the arm, so for rank badges (Which I have never seen worn on a BDU, except for an epaulet on their breast pocket) you might go inbetween the left side and the shoulder badge, for a flag just abit farther left than that.
why?

It won't look right because it will either be too small or stretched.
The best way to do this would be an active kit part that could have a nice, clean UV map with large texture.

The shoulder patch texture for the US Soldier is on Amerun_Z.dds
Here it is on a blank template for Amerun_Z:

^ That's the top of the shoulder, not the outside where modern patches are placed.

Can't you just move the shoulder patch to where they go now on the body models/meshes?

No. If you do that, then the animation skin is "broken" and the soldier animation skin would have to be redone.
