gold braid
Officer's sleeve adornment
Gold braid is decorative trimming made of interwoven gold-colored threads, traditionally used on military uniforms to indicate rank or distinction.
By extension, gold braid refers to high-ranking military officers collectively: The gold braid gathered in the war room.
The term can carry a hint of pomposity or bureaucratic remove from actual combat.
