View Rule

This rule announces an administrative revision of the Army's policies and procedures for manufacturing and selling military insignia for the armed forces.  The rule outlines the Department of the Army policy governing the manufacture, commercial sale, reproduction, possession, and wear of military decorations, medals badges, insignia and their components and appurtenances.  It also establishes the Heraldic Quality Control Program to improve the appearance of the Army by controlling the quality of heraldic items purchased from commercial sources. The revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011.
