You wear the unit's awards; however, if you were a part of unit at the time it earned a unit award, those awards carry over with you.

How many permanent unit awards can you wear?

As many as you've earned. A permanent unit award is one worn by a soldier who was assigned to the unit during the period on the unit award certificate. If you were assigned to the 5000th Artillery Regiment (not a real unit, but it'll work) from 1 January 2001 to 1 January 2004, and the 5000th Artillery Regiment earned the Presidential Unit Citation for its work from 1 March 2002 to 1 July 2002, you can wear the Presidential Unit Citation as long as you're in the Army. Sergeant Smith over there who arrived at the unit on 12 July 2002 can only wear it while he's assigned to the 5000th Artillery. If you'd been in six or seven units that earned unit awards, and you were in them WHEN they did whatever it was they did to earn the awards, you could conceivably wear ten or twelve permanent unit awards. It's not likely, but you could do it.
