Does anybody have any guidance on wearing awards from allied nations?

Any info I get is just research. I just want to be as correct as possible.
I know it isn't commonplace, it may not even be possible anymore, but...
If someone who served honorably in an allied nation's armed forces later joined the U.S. Military, would he still wear awards earned while service the allied nation?
I know there are certain awards that can be worn, but would this be case by case?

You certainly can, within the regulatory guidance posted here. For example, the NATO medals are very commonly worn; and myself and a group of my teammates earned our Nijmegen 4-Day Crosses this year, which is worn at the end of the ribbon rack after all US Awards. Just remember that Foreign decorations are worn in the order received.
