o The ribbons are arranged in a specific order of precedence, with the highest-ranking or most prestigious ribbon placed at the top and the lower-ranking ribbons placed below in descending order.
o The order of precedence is determined by the military branch and the type of award or achievement represented by the ribbon.
o The ribbons should be centered horizontally and aligned vertically with the left edge of the pocket flap or the left edge of the name tag if there is no pocket.
