I must be confused. I thought the oval backing and other items were removed on the Dress Uniform?

Definitely no backings on the ball uniform after work hours.

When in doubt, it’s at the Commander’s discretion. AR670-1 states if in a designated airborne/air assault unit it is approved for where on the dress uniform. Now the dress mess is different since it’s miniature medals. I’ve never seen flashes for those CSM Private RallyPoint Member

Backings aren't worn on mess dress. Is that what you're asking?

Reason I asked is I saw a pic of some Soldiers, around some grog, with bow ties and backing on. Confused me for a minute.
