What should be done if marksmanship badge placement needs adjustment due to body-shape differences?

• A. They may adjust placement to conform to individual body-shape differences
• B. Badges must not be adjusted
• C. They should move to the opposite side
• D. They should be removed

Answer: (A)

When a marksmanship badge doesn’t sit right because of a person’s body shape, you adjust its placement within the approved area so it sits level, centered, and clearly visible. The badge should still occupy the designated location for recognition, but small, within-range shifts let the wearer’s physique look correct and the insignia remain legible when worn with gear or during movement. This keeps the uniform looking uniform for everyone without sacrificing visibility or standardization.

Moving the badge to the other side isn’t standard practice, and removing it isn’t appropriate, since the badge is meant to be worn in its designated position to recognize achievement.
