Who is allowed to wear branch insignia on the ACU, and how should it be worn?

• A. U.S. Army Chaplaincy religious denomination insignia may be worn 1/8 inch above and centered on the name tape. The insignia will be pin on only.
• B. Only branch insignia other than Chaplaincy insignia may be worn with the ACU.
• C. It must be worn on the left sleeve.
• D. No branch insignia may be worn on the ACU.

Answer: (A)

The rule being tested is how insignia are authorized and placed on the ACU for chaplains. Chaplains may wear the U.S. Army Chaplaincy religious denomination insignia, but only that insignia, and it must be worn 1/8 inch above and centered on the name tape. It is pin-on only, not sewn. This specific placement keeps insignia visible and consistent with uniform standards while avoiding interference with other gear or patches. The other statements would conflict with the established policy—for example, wearing other branch insignia on the ACU, placing insignia on a different location, or forbidding insignia entirely—so the chaplain insignia worn as described is the correct practice.
