Your Complete Guide to Complete Ribbon Wear and Mounting of Attachements
By Col. Frank Foster
The Military Ribbon Guide is the most complete, up-to-date, and easy-to-use visual reference for identifying U.S. military ribbons ever published. Fully updated for 2025, it covers every ribbon, device, and attachment authorized by all six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces—from the Civil War to today’s Global War on Terror.
Often called the “Rosetta Stone of military ribbons,” this guide explains what each ribbon represents, how it is worn, and how it fits into the official order of precedence for each service.
Inside you’ll find:
- Full-color ribbon charts for Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard
- Correct order of precedence for each branch
- Every authorized device and attachment, with precise placement
- Coverage of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, NATO operations, and more
- Ribbon layouts designed for both male and female uniforms, following current regulations
- Side-by-side visual ribbon chests showing exact wear configurations
This is the essential tool for veterans, families, collectors, historians, frame shops, museums, and anyone who wants to understand what U.S. military ribbons truly mean.
