SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3802459 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m looking to convince my 1SGT to get the unit commander to allow the wear of the CBRN and the MEDIC brazer when not performing the actual duty. I know I saw something in AR670-1 that said something about the unit commander could sign off on the request. So my question is where is it located and with me being in DIV would it need to go higher up the unit commander? 2018-07-17T21:56:43-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3802459

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>On brassards, DA PAM 670-1 Section 19-29 states: a. Authorization. Brassards are worn as ID to designate personnel who are required to perform a special task or to deal with the public. Brassards are authorized for wear only while actively engaged in the duty associated with the brassard and<br />identification of personnel is required, such as field operations and event response. Brassards are not intended for wear while performing daily or routine job related activities. For example, a member of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team would wear the EOD brassard while actively conducting disposal operations in an environment where non-EOD personnel are present and identification of EOD personnel is necessary; the brassard is not worn while conducting staff activities, routine maintenance and preparations, or while in an on-call or stand-by status<br /><br />As for brassards listed in AR 670-1, in section 21-30, it says to see DA Pam 670-1.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We used to be able to wear it every day being CBRN assigned in a 74 slot since it was released around 2007 or 2008 but it changed about 4 or 5 years ago when you can only wear it while actively doing CBRN duty as stated in the current AR..... My PLT was detached from the company (Chem) while deployed and we weren&#39;t doing any CBRN at all but all security stuff and we never wore the brassard but the rest of the company did

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not authorized when not performing the duty.<br />Will, however, rack up a lifetime&#39;s worth of eye rolls if you were it around other CM NCOs.<br />If you really want to get an answer, go the the Chemical Dragon Leaders FB page and repost this question.<br />And why the Medic? Are you CM or a medic? (Both rhetorical)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not going to happen. Proponent tried to get it going a few years back as a &quot;look how special we are&quot; thing.<br /><br />Unless you are actively engaged in CBRN activities you can&#39;t wear it. And if you are, won&#39;t you at least be in MOPP 2 and can&#39;t see it anyway?
