Yes, medals may be mounted on the Army Dress Blue Uniform, but they are most commonly worn in ceremonial units and ceremonies. Otherwise, the regular ribbon rack is worn in the same location as on the Army Dress Green Uniform.

Medals are typically mounted on the left side of the chest when wearing dress blues. The order and positioning of the medals will depend on the individual's branch of service and personal awards received. The highest-ranking or most prestigious medals are usually placed closest to the center of the chest.
