The Army Master Combat Parachutist second Award is an original badge manufactured in the U.S.A. in accordance with appropriate U.S. Government specifications. 

The Army Master Combat Parachutist second Award Badge is awarded to soldiers who have previously earned the Master Parachutist Badge and simultaneously complete two airborne jumps into a combat zone. Soldiers qualifying for one of the various combat parachutist badges wear their parachutist badge upgraded with the requisite number of bronze stars attached to the decoration.

• One combat jump - A bronze star centered on the shroud lines below the canopy;
• Two combat jumps - A bronze star on the base of each wing; 
• Three combat jumps - A bronze star on the base of each wing and one star centered on the shroud lines below the canopy; 
• Four combat jumps - Two bronze stars on the base of each wing; 
• Five combat jumps - A single gold star centered on the shroud lines below the canopy.

This would work similarly for the Senior or Master versions. The Basic, Senior, and Master Combat Parachutist Badges can each be upgraded to One, Two, Three, Four, and Five star versions.

The Master Parachutist badge requires 36 months of jump status and 65 jumps of which 4 must be at night, 25 must be with prescribed equipment, and 5 must be airborne assaults (or 10 test jumps). 2 jumps of the 65 must be during a night deployment while acting in the position of primary jumpmaster and 15 jumps must be accomplished while performing as primary jumpmaster.

Stars representing participation in combat jumps had been worn unofficially on parachute wings during and after World War II, which was not officially sanctioned until 1983.
