How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: wear this ribbon on service or duty uniforms to show JTAC qualification or add it to a display base for collections. Position it parallel to the jacket top edge and aligned with other ribbons for a professional appearance.

In most cases, choose the regulation flat format for formal uniforms and the Elite variant for a slightly more prominent display. Use a clamp-style holder for quick attachment or a screw-type holder for long-term stability on jackets and display plates.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the ribbon looking sharp and preserves its colors and shape.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heat to prevent deformation or color shift.
• Store in a case or soft pouch when not mounted to protect the weave and edges.
• Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth; do not use aggressive detergents or solvents.
• Choose clamp fastenings for ease of use; choose screw fastenings for more secure, long-term mounting.
