Expect guidelines will be similar to those for the Air Force Commander's Insignia. General guidelines for award of the Air Force Commander's Insignia follow:

On the Service Dress and Service Uniform, Current Materiel Leaders and Senior Materiel Leaders must wear the insignia above the name tag. The insignia may be worn below the name tag upon completion of such a leadership assignment.

On the OCP and Two Piece Flight Duty Uniform (2PFDU), current Materiel Leaders and Senior Materiel Leaders must wear the commander’s insignia, embroidered in spice brown on OCP fabric, above their name tape on their right chest. Graduated Materiel Leaders and Senior Materiel Leaders may wear the patch on the left shoulder panel above their MAJCOM patch.

On the Flight Duty Uniform (FDU or Flight Suit), current Materiel Leaders and Senior Materiel Leaders are required to have the insignia embroidered on the wearers right side of the name tag. Graduated Materiel Leaders and Senior Materiel Leaders do not wear the insignia on the FDU.
