Marine Corps League Authorized Uniforms

To assure that you are properly wearing the Marine Corps League uniforms, members should familiarize themselves with the National Bylaws, Enclosure 3.

A link is provided below.

If, after reading Enclosure 3 of the National Bylaws, you are still confused or perhaps more
confused, the following interpretation is offered.

In an effort to gain some semblance of uniformity in our appearance, the following is a basic guideline for uniform set up and wear. All information is taken from Enclosure 3 of the National Bylaws. Pictures and drawings are used where possible, to help illustrate the regulations.

In many areas, Enclosure 3 of the National Bylaws is somewhat vague or ambiguous.
In an effort to clear up these ambiguities, the author will offer suggestions in italics.
These are not recognized as part of Enclosure 3 and are the authors suggestions only.

Section I - Marine Corps League Medals and Ribbons
Marine Corps League medals may be worn on any Marine Corps league uniform except Casual,
starting with the most distinguished medal/ribbon first and others following in sequence. See
Enclosure (4) National Award Section for further details. Under no conditions are Marine Corps
Service medals/ribbons to be worn with Marine Corps League medals/ribbons. It must be one or
the other. Department of Defense authorized medals, ribbons, or devices, or Marine Corps League
ribbons are to be worn above left shirt pocket.


Section II - Mounting of Large Medals
A. Large medals may be worn on the Mess Jacket, not the Red Blazer. When more than one (1) medal is worn, they shall be suspended from a holding bar of metal or other material of sufficient stiffness to support the weight of the medals.
B. Seven is the maximum number of medals worn on one (1) row.
C. When more than seven medals are worn, additional rows shall be used in accordance with the table below:
One or two medals, 1 row side by side on a 2 ribbon bar.
One to three medals, 1 row side by side on a 3 ribbon bar.
One to four medals, 1 row side by side on a 4 ribbon bar.
One to five medals, 1 row overlapping on a 4 ribbon bar.
One to six medals, 1 row overlapping on a 4 ribbon bar.
Eight medals, 2 rows on two (2) - 4 ribbon bar (4 up and 4 down)
Nine medals, 2 rows on two (2) - 4 ribbon bar (4 up and 5 down)
Ten medals, 2 rows on two (2) - 4 ribbon bar (5 up and 5 down)
Eleven medals, 2 rows on two (2) - 4 ribbon bar (5 up and 6 down)
Overlapping shall be uniform, not to exceed 50% and the right or inboard medal shall be shown in full. When more than one (1) of the same medal has been awarded - stars shall be worn for
additional awards. See Enclosure Four (4), National Award Section.
