United States Army Class A (Dress Green) Overseas Service Bars – Female Size

Criteria: Army Overseas Service Bars are worn on an Army uniform to represent the cumulative amount of time spent overseas, meaning one bar could be earned for each 6 month deployment.

The lower edge of the overseas service bar is placed 1⁄4 inch above the sleeve braid of the coat for officer personnel, and 4 inches above and parallel to the bottom of the sleeve for enlisted personnel. Each additionalbar is spaced 1/16 inch above, and parallel to the first bar.

Note: The number of stripes ordered come attached together as one large patch for simple application directly to the Class A coat.
