1. The Fourragere was awarded by the French Ministry of War to those units
which were cited two or more times in the French Orders of the Army, and when
awarded became part of the cited unit's uniform.
2. The 5th and 6th Marine Regiments were so cited during World War I, and
therefore, all Marines serving in these units are authorized to wear the
Fourragere.
3. Marines entitled to wear the Fourragere will wear it on all uniform
service and dress coats/jackets when medals or ribbons are prescribed. The
Fourragere will not be worn on the tanker jacket or the AWC.
4. The Fourragere will have a pencil attachment with a polished brass or
black tip, will be of the same shades as the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre
Medal, and will conform to applicable military specifications per direction
from CMC (MMAA).
5. The Fourragere will be worn over the left shoulder with the left arm
passing through the large loop of the cord; the small loop will engage the
button under the shoulder strap, except on the enlisted men's blue dress coat
when it will engage the button above the strap, and the metal pencil
attachment will hang naturally to the front. |
