On the class A uniform when can an individual wear the presidential unit citation only while in that unit or as part of the Class A uniform in any unit?

IF you were a member of that unit when it was awarded the unit citation, you can wear it while assigned to any unit. If the unit citation was awarded during a period when you were not a member of that unit, then you may only wear it while assigned to that unit.

Can veterans wear the Presidential Unit Citation?

It doesn't work that way. If they serve in a unit which was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation prior to their serving in that unit, they would wear the Presidential Unit Citation with their unit awards only while they are in that unit. If they serve in a unit when it is awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, then they wear that award at all times, regardless of what unit they're in.However, if neither of these is applicable, then it may not be worn, whether the service member is a combat veteran or not.

No. The Combat Action Ribbon is awarded through the Navy and Marine Corps and is specific to those branches.

The Coast Guard also has their own CAR but with a slight difference in the center.

How do you wear two army achievement medals?

You would wear one Army Achievement Ribbon with an oak leaf to indicate each subsequent award affixed on the ribbon, or the ribbon portion of the medal. This is correct. To specify, one would wear a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster for each subsequent ribbon awarded. The Silver Oak Leaf cluster would be used to show 5 subsequent awards. For example: One is awarded the Army Achievement Medal 11 separate times. Therefore one would wear The Army Achievement Ribbon with two Silver Oak Leaf Clusters.

Do you wear unit awards with army dress green uniform?

This may sound confusing- I hope I explain in such a way it can be understood. Unit awards (Presidential Unit Citations, i.e.) are not personal decorations- they are awarded to members of an entire unit on a single date. If you were a member of the unit when it was awarded, you can wear it forever, regardless of where your military career sends you. If you became a member of that unit AFTER the Citation was awarded, you can wear it while you are a member of that unit, but upon transfer, you are no longer authorized to wear it on your uniform.
