Can anyone provide the regulation for authorization to wear awards? Have a SM whose ERB has not been update but the SM has the 638's granting award.
Awards
Ribbons
Dress Uniform
DA Pam 670-1

An ERB isn't what authorizes you to wear an award. If you have the authorization based on either orders or a DA 638 then you could wear it. It should be reflecting on your ERB but sometimes it may take a while to reflect. The ERB and DD214 is not a document that shows the authorization of an award but is used as a reference. You still need a copy of the original orders or DA 638.

Agree. Ultimately want them to match but I. The interim an approved 638 with a permanent order is sufficient

Wear the award, but what your Soldier needs to do is make photocopies of the 638 and cert, put their SSN and initial on the top, and turn in to S1 for ERB update and iperms update. This is supposed to happen once a year as the Personnel Records Review.

Never give up the original to S1. Always a copy as 1SG says here. You’ll be responsible to produce originals during S1 audits

The regulation for wearing of all authorized awards is AR 670-1.
All awards go in iPERMS, per AR and DA PAM 600-8-104.
The Record Brief is a brief of every source document in iPERMS.
iPERMS and the Record Brief get updated with the SM working with BN S1, for every promotion, school, award, and change of assignment, or at least annually.
