It will be incorporated into next edition, as well as the
finalized guidance once they publish it.
1) Either oxidized finish or silver finish badges will be worn. No mixing.
2) No nameplates will be worn on the coat or shirts.
3) Since female AGSU coats have only pocket flaps (no pockets) their insignia will be worn IAW male uniform standards.
4) No more than one identification badge per pocket will be worn.
5) No more than four combat and special skills badges to include marksmanship badges will be worn. No more than 3 marksmanship awards will be worn at one time. Badges 1/4 inch above the ribbons, or pocket flap. Badges may also be worn below the ribbons 1/4 inch below the top of pocket flap.
