(b) Placement of the OSD ID Badge. On the blue dress coat,
service coat, and khaki long/short-sleeve shirts, the OSD ID Badge is
centered on the upper left pocket. On the evening dress uniform, the badge
will be positioned in a location that corresponds to that of the dress coat.
On pockets with flaps, the badge will be centered between the lower point of
the flap and the bottom of the pocket and midway between the two sides.
(c) The miniature OSD ID badge is a smaller version of the
standard 2-inch diameter badge which has been reduced in size to 1-1/2 inches
in diameter. Only the miniature badge may be worn on the evening dress, blue
dress "C"/"D," and service "B"/"C" uniforms. Placement will be as follows:
1 On the male officers' evening dress jacket, the badge will
be placed on the left front panel with the top of the badge centered 1 inch
below the bottom edge of the miniature medals.
2 On the male SNCOs evening dress jacket, the badge will be
placed on the left-front panel on an extension of an imaginary line formed by
the three front buttons of the left panel. The badge will be placed midway
between the top button and the point where the imaginary line meets the
lapel.
3 On the male khaki shirts, the badge will be worn centered on
the left pocket.
(4) Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge (JCS ID Badge). The
standard size JCS ID badge consists of the United States shield (upper
portion in blue, and 13 stripes of alternating red and white enamel)
superimposed on four gold metal unsheathed swords (two placed vertically and
two diagonally), pointing to the top, with points and pommels resting on the
wreath, blades and grips entwined with a gold metal continuous scroll
surrounding the shield with the word "JOINT" at the top and the words "CHIEFS
OF STAFF" at bottom, in blue enamel letters; all within an oval silver metal
wreath of laurel 2-1/4 inches high by 2 inches wide.
(a) The badge may be permanently awarded to any Marine assigned to
the organization of the JCS who serves at least 365 consecutive days after 14
January 1961 and who receives a certificate of eligibility. The JCS, the
operations deputies, and the deputy operations deputies are eligible to wear
the badge immediately upon assumption of tenure. All other assigned
personnel may wear the badge on a temporary basis, for identification
purposes, for the first 365 days of their tours.
(b) Placement of the JCS ID Badge. The standard JCS ID badge will
be worn in the same manner as the OSD ID badge.
(c) The miniature JCS ID badge is reduced in size by one third,
with nine stripes on the shield, but otherwise is identical to the standard
badge. The miniature badge will be worn in the same manner as the miniature
OSD ID badge.
