Editing Arrowhead device (section)

==Criteria==
A soldier, airman, or guardian must be assigned or attached as a member of an organized force carrying out an assigned tactical mission. A soldier, airman, or guardian must actually exit an aircraft or watercraft to receive assault credit. Individual assault credit is tied directly to the combat assault credit decision for the unit to which the soldier, airman, or guardian is attached or assigned at the time of the assault.  Should a unit be denied assault, no assault credit will accrue to the individual soldiers, airmen, or guardian of that unit. 

The arrowhead device must be authorized for wear in order to be worn on the suspension and [[service ribbon]]s of the medal and is placed in position to the wearer's right of other devices on the ribbons including the [["V" device]], {{cvt|3/16|in|mm|adj=on}} [[service star]], and {{frac|3|16}}-inch [[campaign star]].<ref>DoD 1348.33 V3</ref>  No more than one arrowhead may be worn on a medal and service ribbon. {{As of|2004}}, the medals which are authorized the arrowhead device are as follows:
