SSI-MOHC TDY GWOT-EM ?

QFTG: A former soldier of mine, recently received information/ guidance that they're now authorized to wear the SSI MOHC from our former unit. Based on the following criteria:

-1610 (TDY ISO/ detailed location etc.)
-IDP
-Awarded GWOT-EM
-ISO a named OP.

I countered with the latest AR 670-1 pg 43-44 reference. But, him and I have been told yes( bc aforementioned ) no (no czte) and not sure. Wondering if anyone in the group has had similar experiences and or input to a way ahead. Thanks for any and all feedback.

The correct answer is still AR 670-1. ch 21-18.
Specifically c. (20):"Future operations: Combatant commanders may request wear of the SSI – MOHC for future areas of operation designated and approved by the CSA."

If your deployment is not listed there, then the GCC must submit it for CSA approval.

If the aforementioned guidance included that CSA approval, then yes.
If not, then no.
