Guidelines for Wearing Medals and Ribbons in Formal Military Settings

This document outlines the protocol for wearing medals and ribbons within military and state functions. It specifies that medals should be worn 1.5 inches above the left breast pocket and are reserved for specific occasions such as visits by dignitaries, state funerals, and commemorative services. The precedence of wear is clearly defined, emphasizing the order from Marine Gallantry to foreign decorations recognized by the state. Ribbons may be worn on uniforms at any occasion, but never in conjunction with medals, ensuring adherence to military decorum.
