I have four ARCOM's and an ARCOM with V device for a total of 5. Everyone I've gone to seems to give me a different answer. Rack builder had it as two ribbons, one with V device and 3 bronze oak leafs and an empty ribbon. Any help would be appreciated.

At five, don't you change to a single Silver oak leaf or maybe that is at 6? In this case with a V device.

Arcom with the V device is a separate award that should be 1. The others should be worn separately like normal. The was that one is set up means you have 4 Arcoms with a V device.

Apparently I am wrong according to the 1SG but I have been retired for a couple years. I must be thinking stinking civilian logic. 1SG makes sense and is quoting the AR 670-1 but I think it looks very strange that way.

If it is 4 awards total it would be 4 bronze plus V device. If 5th award total, I silver plus V device.

It seems to me that if you're not concerned about the recognition (coin and a thanks) don't display them all, its only a problem if you display what you haven't earned.

The way the picture reads is '4 ARCOMS' with V device and one ARCOM without V device.

Good morning: Col. (Ret.) Chapman here. You only need 1 AECOM Ribbon with 3OLC = 4 and a V on the same Ribbon. If you get another ARCOM you would use 4 OLC + the V. If you get more, the you go to a SILVER PLC + the V.

The ribbon with the “V” device is the correct way. That one denotes 4 awards and at least one for Valor. The second ribbon is not needed and is incorrect
