Border Command 4 covered the southern Harz region near Halle. The GDR’s border troops awarded such performance badges to recognize exemplary service. While not an official state decoration, the “Bester” badge served as a prestigious internal award, reflecting both tactical excellence and ideological commitment. The design includes a stylized assault rifle, laurel leaves, and the number “4” representing the command. It was worn on uniforms and awarded during inspections or ceremonies.
