The Medal of Honor is the highest award a soldier can receive but it is not an Army award; it is granted by Congress.
This leaves the Distinguished Service Cross as the highest award that can be granted to an American soldier by the US Army.
See the link below for the order and description of military awards, ribbons, and medals.
Ribbons are usually worn on US Army Class A uniforms. They are placed on the wearer's left breast, above the pocket, in "Order of Precedence". There are many lists/picture charts available everywhere.
The headgear worn with the Army Service Uniform (ASU) is the Army blue beret or the Army service cap, also known as the "barracks cover." The blue beret is typically worn by soldiers in certain units, while the service cap is worn during formal events and ceremonies. The choice of headgear may depend on a soldier's specific duties, unit, or occasion.
Something about this.
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.
Earned awards can be worn on the service uniform. You will have to consult the appropriate regulations for placement, they are typically going to be lower priority of any Army issued awards.
Because Medals and Ribbons are worn on the left side of the uniform, over the heart, whilst badges which have meaning, but less significance to them than Ribbons Or medals which signify Campaigns, achievements, or special assignments. Compared to Badges which just signify knowledge.
Because it's worn uniformly by all personnel in the Army.
Any award with a ribbon can be worn on a different service uniform if it was earned while attached to a joint command, the person was involved in a joint mission, etc. The ribbon device is worn on the right breast over the pocket.
do you wear unit awards on the dress blues for a military ball
It is Not worn on a combat uniform.<<< This is not true, the CIB is worn on the left side of the ACU (Army Combat Uniform) above the U.S. ARMY name tape.
US Army medals are issued to the recipient in a medal set; the medal itself and a ribbon representing the medal, as medals themselves are not worn on the duty dress uniform, but for occasions such as military balls and other more formal gatherings
Centered above the ribbons on the wearer's left side. I believe the badge is place 1/8th inch above the topmost ribbon. I was just trying to figure out where to attach my air assault wings!
