a. General

As used in this paragraph, the word “collar” refers to that part of the coat or shirt around the neck that forms a neckband and turnover piece.

The word “lapel” is used when referring to the fold of the front of the coat that is a continuation of the collar (usually separated by a notch in the collar).

b. Nonsubdued branch insignia

(1) Officers

On the AGSU coat, officers wear their branch insignia centered on both lapels approximately 1–1/4 inches below the U.S. insignia.

The branch insignia is positioned so that the centerline of the insignia bisects the centerline of the U.S. insignia and is parallel to the inside edge of the lapel (see fig 21–127).
