Figure 29–57. Wear of special skill badges above ribbons, female
(3) Dress miniature badges.
(a) The dress miniature combat and special skill badges are worn on the blue and white dress uniforms only when
miniature medals are worn. (Dress miniature badges and miniature medals are worn on the Army blue and white dress
uniforms only when these uniforms are worn as formal dress uniforms (with bow tie).) When miniature medals are
worn on these uniforms, personnel may wear up to three dress miniature combat and special skill badges from groups 1
through 5 (see para 29–17a, above), one above the other, above the miniature medals in order of group precedence.
When miniature medals are worn, personnel will not wear dress miniature combat and special skill and marksmanship
badges on the pocket flap, or below the medals on uniforms without pockets.
(b) Dress miniature combat and special skill badges are worn on all mess and evening mess uniforms. Personnel
may wear up to five combat and special skill badges from groups 1 through 5. If no badge from groups 1 through 3 is
worn, personnel may wear five badges from groups 4 and 5. When two badges are worn, they are placed side-by-side
immediately above the miniature medals. When three badges are worn, two are placed side-by-side immediately above
the medals, and the third is centered 1/4 inch above the other two badges. When four badges are worn, the third and
fourth badges are centered side-by-side 1/4 inch above the other two badges. When five badges are worn, the fifth will
be worn centered 1/4 inch above the third and fourth badges. Badges are worn in order of group precedence; on the
male mess uniform, badges will not extend beyond the lapel. (Para 29–9 describes wear of miniature medals on the
mess uniforms (see figs 29–7 and 29–8).)
(c) Personnel may wear dress miniature combat and special skill badges on the AG shade 415 shirt. However, they
may not mix dress miniature combat and special skill badges with full-size and miniature combat and special skill
badges on the shirt.
d. Subdued pin-on and embroidered sew-on combat and special skill badges. Personnel may wear no more than five
subdued combat and special skill badges on the temperate, hot weather, enhanced hot weather, maternity, aviation, and
desert BDU shirts. Badges are worn one above the other, centered above the U.S. Army tape, in order of group
precedence. When five badges are worn, three are centered 1 ⁄4 inch above the U.S. Army tape in a vertical line with 1 ⁄2
inch between badges, and two are worn on the pocket flap, 1 ⁄8 inch below the top of the pocket, with at least 1 inch
between badges. When four badges are worn, three are centered 1 ⁄4 inch above the U.S. Army tape in a vertical line
with 1 ⁄2 inch between badges, and one is worn on the pocket flap, 1 ⁄8 inch below the top of the pocket, with at least 1
inch between badges. When three badges are worn, two badges are centered 1 ⁄4 inch above the U.S. Army tape in a
vertical line with 1 ⁄2 inch between badges, and one is worn centered on the pocket flap, 1 ⁄8 inch below the top of the
pocket. When two badges are worn, both are centered 1 ⁄4 inch above the U.S. Army tape in a vertical line with 1 ⁄2 inch
between badges. If only one badge is worn, it is centered 1 ⁄4 inch above the U.S. Army tape (see fig 29–58).
