How is the branch insignia worn on the male Enlisted Army Blue Service uniform?

• A. Centered on the left collar, with the bottom of the disk approximately 1 inch above the notch, with the center line of the insignia parallel to the inside edge of the lapel.
• B. Centered on the right collar, with the bottom of the disk at the notch.
• C. The insignia is worn on the left lapel.
• D. The insignia is worn on the left shoulder.

Answer: (A)

The branch insignia is placed on the left collar of the male Enlisted Army Blue Service uniform, centered on that collar. The bottom of the insignia disk sits about one inch above the notch, and the center line of the insignia runs parallel to the inside edge of the lapel. This positioning creates a balanced, uniform look and aligns with how insignia are intended to appear on the dress blues. Wearing it on the right collar, on the left lapel, or on the left shoulder would not follow the standard placement, and placing it at the notch or in other locations would disrupt the proper proportion and readability.
