First your Assignment Manager puts you in a "slot" or "assignment". He/She doe this with a variety of tools. The Army tries to give you the assignment you want, if there is a need for someone of your grade and MOS at that location. They can use you ASK account to find out where you want to go or you can go to the HRC web site and find the email address for them and send an email. You can also call, but they rarely answer the phone. Most importantly they will put you where they need you first and foremost. Giving you the assignment you want is an after thought. The orders or "levy" goes through your Post G-1, or Admin Section.

Translation: (in the old army) Officers gave orders...NCOs carried them out (Commanding=Giving orders/Running the company=Carrying those orders out).

Can a US Navy Sailor wear a Bronze Arrowhead Device on his Iraq Campaign Medal if he conducted helicopter assault landings in Iraq?

From a US Army stand point as long as you have orders allowing you to wear it. Now if the Navy allows you to wear it that is another story. On that note I am not really sure, and tried searching for a answer on that. But yes you "can" wear it as long as your have orders providing that you took part in the helicopter assault, and given you have the orders. Which I assume it was with a Army unit? Now I do know you can wear it if you went from the Navy to the Army. I am just having problems finding where, if you could wear it, via a Navy site/regulation.
