(2) Females.
(a) On the Army green, blue, and white uniforms, the Army maternity tunic, and the AG 415 shirt, females wear the
RDI centered 1 ⁄2 inch above the nameplate, or 1 ⁄4 inch above any unit awards or foreign badges that are worn. When the
coat lapel obscures the RDI, soldiers may wear the RDI aligned to the right edge of unit awards or the nameplate.
Wear of the RDI on the AG 415 shirt is optional (see fig 28–144).
(b) On the blue mess and evening mess, and the new version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear
the RDI centered on the right lapel, with the top of the RDI aligned with the top row of miniature medals. On the black
mess and evening mess, and the old version white mess and evening mess uniforms, females wear the RDI centered on
the right side of the jacket (not on the lapels). The RDI is centered between the lapel and shoulder seam, with the top
of the RDI aligned with the top row of miniature medals. The RDI is worn so that the vertical axis is perpendicular to
the ground (see fig 25–2).
(3) The RDI and DUI will be the same for soldiers who are assigned to, and affiliated with the same unit. Soldiers
who are assigned to a unit or agency not authorized a DUI will wear the RDI on the beret and the black pullover
sweater in lieu of a DUI (see fig 28–139).
