Is the Norwegian Footmarch badge authorized to be worn on the ASU? If so how is it affixed?

I thought I saw that it was, but back when I was awarded it, it had been removed from the authorization list.

The badge isn't listed as authorized in AR 600-8-22, so is not authorized for wear.
Since the badge/decoration is not listed in AR 600-8-22, Appendices D or E, yoy can contact the Awards and Decorations Branch at [login to see] (DSN 983-9126) or [login to see]

A few months ago down at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras, my unit conducted the Footmarch as people were wanting to do it because they thought it was approved for wear. Currently, this particular badge is not approved for wear on the ASU's.

It is on the updated page 8, Appendix D (dated 10 Dec 18) list for authorized Foreign badges.

However, I'm not certain of which one you have:

Norwegian Military March Metal/Badge
or
Norwegian Foot-March Skill Insignia (also known as the Road March Badge)

If it's the Norwegian Military March Metal/Badge, you're only allowed to accept, but not wear it. If it's the Norwegian Foot-March Skill Insignia, which apparently comes in bronze, silver, and gold; then you are authorized to accept it, but in order to wear it on your uniform, you must have a signed Acceptance and Wear memorandum from a U.S. commander in the grade of BG/O7 or higher and COL/O6 commanders with GCMCA. If you don't have that memo already, the process to obtain one is a simple DA4187 and is described in the "Foreign Badges and Decorations LISTED in Appendices D and E" section at the HRC link below.

If you already have the U.S. Acceptance and Wear memo, then you can place it on your ASU in accordance with, para 20-18b, DA PAM 670-1.
