YOUR NEXT THREE STEPS

Find the right uniform guidance

Locate the uniform regulation, attached changes, and tools for arranging your earned awards.

  1. Check the uniform for your activity

    Ask your unit or activity organizer which uniform is expected before purchasing or preparing items.

  2. Read the official regulation and changes

    Use the official publication and any applicable change letters and supplements. Compass summaries help you locate sources; the official documents remain your reference.

  3. Prepare your ribbon rack

    Use the ribbon tool to arrange awards you have earned. Review the relevant official guidance for your uniform and situation.
