When wearing skills badges above the ribbons, what is the placement requirement for subsequent badges?

The correct placement requirement for skills badges worn above ribbons is 1/4 inch above and centered. This distance ensures uniformity and adheres to the Army’s regulations regarding the proper display of skills badges. Maintaining such specific measurements promotes a professional appearance and ensures that the awards are displayed clearly and respectfully, as required by Army uniform regulations.

While the answer specifies 1/4 inch, the rationale behind the other potential distances relates to ensuring that badges do not interfere visually with the ribbons and remain distinct. Each incremental distance, while relevant in discussions about formality and spacing, does not align with the established standard, which is explicitly stated as 1/4 inch above and centered for proper military dress.
