Definitions

rectangular colored bars about 3 cm. long and 1 cm. wide. They consist of a brass backing plate with pins or clip to attach to the uniform, a stiff cardboard backing and a colored tight woven cloth which is attached to the backing and slipped in front of the brass plate which holds it in place. Service insignia are worn in a tasteful arrangement (if more than one) on the left breast pocket of the officer's dress uniform starting about one inch down from the top. By a glance officers can be recognized as to their service and training and can be more properly afforded the status and etiquette due them. (FO 2327R)
