I know the overseas service bar is 6 consecutive months overseas. We went Kuwait for 9 months and our 1SG had everyone get the service bar sewn on with the award. I can't seem to find any info about Kuwait because I know it used to be service bar and patch but not sure about it now.

SSG (Join to see) use para 19-28 in AR670-1 dated May 2017 and find the award period and operation. You'll need to find the AOR where it is authorized. That is usually in the MILPER Message, which I can no longer search.
If you are talking OIR, I could not find a open source description of the AOR.
From. AR670-1 19–28. Overseas service bars
(15) Participation in OIR, in the CENTCOM area of operations, and under the control of the Combatant Commander, CENTCOM, between 15 June 2014 and a date to be determined. The months of arrival to, and departure from the CENTCOM area of operations are counted as whole months.

My orders day OEF and not OIR so I don't know if this applies differently to Soldiers in the same country with orders supporting different operations. I've actually pushed this question to my G1.

I had to write an official memo for each Soldier specifying our length of service band the commands we fell under signed by our CO
