Dog Tags

A dog tag is the informal name for the identification tags worn by military personnel, because of their resemblance to actual dog tags. The tag is primarily used for the identification of dead and wounded along with providing essential basic medical information for the treatment of the latter such as blood type.  Dog tags are usually fabricated from a corrosion-resistant metal or alloy such as aluminum or stainless-steel, although during war-time they have been made from whatever metals were available. In the event the member has a medical condition that requires special attention, an additional red tag with the pertinent information is issued and worn with the dog tags.

In-Game
Dog tags are first used in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, where they are rewards for knifing an enemy player in multiplayer. They show up like any other reward, at the center-top of the screen. There are three types of dog tags:


 * Bronze - Earned for killing someone between the ranks 1-21
 * Silver - Earned for killing someone between the ranks of 22-45
 * Gold - Earned for killing someone between the ranks 46-50

You can view all the dogtags you have earned at the "Stats' section of the main menu. There you can view the gamertag of every person you have killed, and will be almost like a trophy for you to enjoy, as your list gets longer.
