Which statement correctly describes the placement of the U.S. insignia disk on the collar?

• A. The U.S. insignia disk on the left collar with its centerline parallel to the inside edge of the lapel and bottom about 1 inch above the notch.
• B. The U.S. insignia disk on the right collar with its centerline parallel to the outside edge of the lapel and bottom about 1 inch above the notch.
• C. The U.S. insignia disk on the right collar with its centerline parallel to the inside edge of the lapel and bottom about 1 inch above the notch.
• D. The U.S. insignia disk on the right collar with its centerline parallel to the inside edge of the lapel and bottom about 0.5 inches above the notch.

Answer: (C)

Proper placement relies on alignment and consistent spacing to keep the uniform looking balanced. The U.S. insignia disk belongs on the right collar, and its centerline should run parallel to the inside edge of the lapel so the disk sits square to the overall line of the uniform. The bottom edge should be about one inch above the notch, which keeps the insignia clearly visible and properly spaced from the collar detail. Placing it on the left collar would disrupt the standard symmetry, while aligning the centerline with the outside edge or locating the disk closer than one inch above the notch would look off and reduce readability.
