Can I wear sew-on insignia on the desert BDU (DBDU)?
Soldiers may wear either pin-on or sew-on rank, branch insignia, and subdued badges on the desert BDU. If soldiers wear sew-on insignia, they will bear all costs associated with the application and removal of the insignia. This includes any damage to the organizational DBDU. All optional insignia must be removed from the DBDU prior to returning the garment to organizational stock.
