. Description. The colors <strong>of</strong> the U.S. flag cloth replica are red, white, <strong>and</strong> blue. The size is approximately 2 inches<br />

by 3 inches.<br />

c. How worn.<br />

(1) When approved for wear, the full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is sewn 1 ⁄2 inch below the right shoulder seam <strong>of</strong><br />

the temperate, hot-weather, enhanced hot-weather, <strong>and</strong> desert BDU; the BDU field jacket; <strong>and</strong> the cold-weather<br />

uniform (see fig 28–135). If the SSI–FWTS is worn on the right shoulder <strong>of</strong> the utility uniform, the full-color U.S. flag<br />

cloth replica is placed 1 ⁄8 inch below the right shoulder sleeve insignia (see fig 28–136). The SSI–FWTS is not<br />

authorized for wear on organizational uniforms, unless indicated above.<br />

(2) The full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When<br />

worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, <strong>and</strong> gives the effect <strong>of</strong> the flag flying in the breeze as the<br />

wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the reverse side flag.<br />
