How are unit ribbons worn on the ASU/AGSU?

Unit ribbons on the Army Service Uniform (ASU) and Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) are worn centered, 1/8 inch above the right pocket. This positioning helps to clearly display the unit's achievements and honors, maintaining a uniform appearance that is consistent across personnel. Correct placement is vital for upholding the Army's standards of dress and personal appearance, as it reflects the professionalism of the Soldier.

The measurement of 1/8 inch ensures that the ribbons are not placed too close to the pocket, which could lead to a cluttered look, nor too far away, which could make them less prominent. Properly wearing the ribbons aligns with Army Regulation guidelines and exemplifies attention to detail, which is an important characteristic for all Soldiers, especially those preparing for board evaluations like the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCOM) and Soldier of the Month (SOM) boards.
