DA PAM 670-1: 21-24. Insignia representing regimental affiliation

21-24. Insignia representing regimental affiliation

a. Authorization. AR 670–1 authorizes insignia used to represent regimental affiliation to consist of either the RDI

or DUI. A Soldier’s regimental affiliation using an RDI is based on a Soldier’s branch, corps, or special branch as

determined by PMOS or specialty. A Soldier’s regimental affiliation using a DUI is based on a unit in which the

Soldier is serving or previously successfully served. Soldiers may wear the RDI for their affiliated regiment or may

wear the DUI for a unit in which they are serving or have previously successfully served based off their assignment

history as indicated in their personnel record.

b. How worn. The RDI or DUI, when worn as insignia to represent regimental affiliation, are worn as outlined in

paragraph 21–22. Soldiers (except chaplains, general officers, a CSM assigned as the SEAC, the SMA’s enlisted staff

members) wear the DUI centered above the nameplate on the pullover sweater, with the top edge of the insignia 1/4

inch below the top edge of the patch on the sweater. Soldiers assigned to units not authorized the DUI wear the RDI

on the pullover sweater in the same manner as the DUI (see figs 21–139 and 21–140). Chaplains wear their branch

insignia, general officers wear the RDI, a CSM assigned as the SEAC wears the SEAC insignia, the SMA and enlisted

staff members assigned to the office of the SMA wear the SMA insignia in the same manner. All Soldiers may adjust

the placement of the DUI or RDI up or down on the patch to allow for large DUI or RDI or to adjust to body config-

uration.
