1. Wear a maximum of four devices on each ribbon. Place silver devices to the wearer's right of bronze devices. Replace the bronze device with a silver device after receipt of the fifth bronze device. Place clusters horizontally and tilt slightly downward to the wearer's right to allow maximum number of clusters and other devices on the ribbon. Tilt all or none.
2. If all authorized devices do not fit on a single ribbon, wear a second ribbon. Wear a minimum of three devices on the first ribbon before wearing a second ribbon. When wearing the second ribbon, place after the initial ribbon. It counts for one award. When future awards reduce devices to a single ribbon, remove the second ribbon.
3. Wear regular devices on regular medals and regular ribbons; miniature devices on miniature ribbons and medals. Wear all the same size devices.
4. There are two methods of affixing devices on ribbons: a separate device or single-constructed device (two or more devices manufactured together). When affixing separate devices to the ribbon, space devices equally. If using single-constructed device, center it. If using single-constructed device on one ribbon, use it on all ribbons. Place silver clusters, stars, etc. above similar bronze devices.
