or training requirements.

approximately 2 1 ⁄2 inches up from the bottom rim. Subdued pin-on or embroidered sew-on grade insignia is authorized
for wear on the camouflage cover. Commanders may not require enlisted soldiers to attach embroidered grade insignia,
unless it is issued and attached without cost to the soldier (see fig 28–13). Chaplains wear their subdued branch
insignia, in lieu of grade insignia. Wear of nametapes or the use of other means to apply names to helmet bands is
determined by the commander and is provided to soldiers at no cost.
