This is why awards on state orders don't automatically transfer to AD, therefore you have to go through S1. Some state/guard awards/badges are unique like the Ram Head and cannot be worn unless in that guard unit. Rank earned in the guard is a similar issue.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 23 at 2019 1:03 AM2019-02-23T01:03:25-05:002019-02-23T01:03:25-05:001SG Private RallyPoint Member4392930<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, awards earned while AD Army may be worn on your ARNG uniform.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 23 at 2019 1:11 AM2019-02-23T01:11:07-05:002019-02-23T01:11:07-05:00SFC Brian Gillum4395777<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes; awards earned while on active duty in the Army can be worn on you uniform when you transfer to the Army National Guard. And yes; if/when you go from National Guard to active component, any awards that are from your state (i.e. the Broadsword Medal for time in service in Michigan) will no longer be authorized for wear on your uniform.Response by SFC Brian Gillum made Feb 23 at 2019 11:45 PM2019-02-23T23:45:26-05:002019-02-23T23:45:26-05:00SPC Dean J.
