Royal Danish Marksmanship Badge; Guidance on wearing on the ASU?

2015-02-23T21:24:48-05:00

Has anyone been awarded the Royal Danish Marksmanship Badge and worn it on their ASU's?
I was recently awarded the Royal Danish Marksmanship Badge (Bronze) with a certificate. My certificate has been submitted to my S1 to be added to my OMPF. The Danish Badge is listed in Appendix D of AR 600-8-22 as approved and authorized for wear.
I have searched the internet, AR 600-8-22 and AR/DA Pam 670-1 to find a picture and guidance on its wear. I am looking for an example of its wear on the ASU and any personal examples of the Badge.

Now I'm curious, where did you qualify for it?

DA PAM 670-1, p. 275: 22–18. Foreign badges
a.
Males wear a foreign badge centered and 1/8 inch above the right pocket flap, or 1/2 inch above any unit awards
that are worn (see fig 22–86). Females wear the badge centered and 1/2 inch above the nameplate, or 1/2 inch above
any unit awards that are worn (see fig 22–87). In those instances where the service or dress coat lapel obscures the
badge, personnel may wear the badges aligned with the right edge of unit awards or the nameplate. Personnel may not
wear a foreign badge unless at least one U.S. medal or service ribbon is worn at the same time. Foreign badges are not
authorized for wear on mess or utility uniforms. Personnel may not wear foreign badges that are awarded only as cloth
badges. Personnel may not wear foreign badges that cannot be worn properly because of size or configuration

Keep a eye on the HRC website about being able to wear it.

https://www.hrc.army.mil/site/Active/TAGD/awards/Foreign_Badges_Appendix/Appendix_E.pdf

In accordance with Title 5 United States Code, Section 7342, DoD M1348.33-Vol 3, Manual of Military Decorations and Awards and AR 600-8-22, Military Awards, Chapter 9, those awards from foreign governments may be accepted and worn only if in recognition of active combat service or for outstanding or unusually meritorious performance. Activities normally undertaken by the U.S. Armed Forces in support of an ally during peacetime are not considered sufficient to merit foreign individual or unit decorations.

This change does not apply to awards that appear in AR 600-8-22, Chapter 9, but does affect Appendices D and E. All new requests for wear of decorations and badges received after 1 June 2014 will be processed in accordance with Chapter 9 of AR 600-8-22.

All Soldiers previously issued an acceptance and wear memorandum may continue to wear in accordance with the memorandum issued by the United States Human Resources Command and the first general officer in their command.

WOW, while researching the Danish marksmanship badge, I found the DANCON March medal is now authorized to wear as per AR 600-8-22, Date, 24 June, 2013. I got two of them! Guess I might look at getting them added to my DD-214
