That's an Aiguillette, they're typically more fancy than Fourragère.

No, it's decorative. Something you'd wear on your dress uniform to show off. Only pistol or whistle military lanyards has a functional purpose.

In case this isn't bait:

Showing rank in olden days.

If it is:

Just...fuck off.

It it a distinction for the military unit as a whole. In france at least (since they invented it)

It looks like paracord or something. I meant that kind of tactical.

In the UK (where I base my knowledge from) it normally denotes a senior appointment or role, for example being an Aide-de-Camp to HM Queenie. They are pretty much always worn on the right shoulder.

Lanyards, which are generally unit-wide (Such as the PWRR wearing a Royal Marine lanyard) are worn on the left shoulder.

Back in the day officers wore them. The metal on the end was a spike used to make a cannon inoperable by spiking the wick hole.

My unit all got blue ones because we were a distinguished company or something a few years back

Bugle cord.

It may have served as the sword/pistol lanyard back in the days when Officers did fought.
