(2) Male enlisted personnel. On the Army green, blue, and white coats, enlisted males wear their branch insignia
centered on the left collar, with the bottom of the disk approximately 1 inch above the notch, with the centerline of the
insignia parallel to the inside edge of the lapel (see fig 28–121).

(3) Female officers. On the old versions of the Army white and blue coats, female officers wear branch insignia on
the left collar. The insignia is worn 1 inch above the notch, so the centerline of the insignia bisects the notch and is
parallel to the inside edge of the collar (see fig 28–122). On the Army green coat and the new versions of the Army
blue and white coats, female officers wear branch insignia on both lapels. The insignia is worn approximately 1 1 ⁄4
inches below the U.S. insignia, with the insignia bisecting the U.S. insignia and parallel to the inside edge of the lapel
(see fig 28–123). On the hospital duty uniform, female officers wear the branch insignia centered on the left collar, 1
inch up from the lower edge of the collar, with the centerline of the insignia parallel to the lower edge of the collar.
Except for chaplains, female officers will not wear branch insignia on the AG 415 short- or long-sleeved shirts. Female
chaplains wear the branch insignia in a location similar to that described for male chaplains (see para 28–12a, above).
On the black pullover sweater, chaplains wear their branch insignia centered above the nameplate, in lieu of the
distinctive unit insignia.
