that is a cord attached for troops are demobilizing. it was not official, but it was used simply to spruce up the uniforms so that they stood out on their special day.
i believe, please anyone correct me if i am wrong

Yes, and no. It was also officially established for Honor Guard and military parades.
I believe the word is aiguilette. Alexei Quote:

I think this question was asked before (can't recall which section it was in).
