On the male Class A uniform, the bottom edge of the emblem for unit awards sits how far above the right breast pocket?

• A. 1/8 inch
• B. 1/4 inch
• C. 1/2 inch
• D. 0 inches

Answer: (A)

Placement of the unit awards insignia on the male Army Class A uniform is strict and uses the pocket as the reference point. The bottom edge of the emblem should sit a very small distance above the top edge of the right breast pocket, specifically one-eighth of an inch. This tiny gap keeps the pocket visible and the insignia clearly legible from a distance, creating a uniform, balanced look across all wearers. Larger gaps would look off and crowd the pocket area, while no gap would cause crowding and misalignment. So the correct spacing is one-eighth of an inch above the pocket.
