==Criteria and wear== Oak leaf clusters are worn with the stems of the leaves pointing to the wearer's right. For medals, {{convert|13/32|in|mm|adj=on}} oak leaf clusters are worn on the medal's suspension ribbon.<ref name="DA PAM 670-1">{{cite web|url=https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN30948-PAM_670-1-000-WEB-1.pdf|title=Guide to the Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia|date=2021-01-26|access-date=2022-12-17}}</ref> For [[service ribbon]]s, {{convert|5/16|in|mm|adj=on}} oak leaf clusters are worn, with no more than four oak leaf clusters being worn side by side.<ref name="DA PAM 670-1" /><ref name=DoDM1348.33-V3>{{cite web |title=DoDM 1348.33-V3, November 23, 2010 |url=http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/134833vol3.pdf |access-date=2012-04-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130226205442/http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/134833vol3.pdf |archive-date=2013-02-26}}</ref> If the number of authorized oak leaf clusters exceeds four, a second ribbon is authorized for wear and is worn after the first ribbon.<ref name="AR 670-1" /> The second ribbon counts as one additional award, after which more leaf clusters may be added to the second ribbon. If future awards reduce the number of oak leaf clusters worn on the first ribbon due to bronze oak leaf clusters being replaced by a silver oak leaf cluster, the second ribbon is removed and the appropriate number of devices is placed on the first ribbon.<ref name="AR 670-1" /> ===Examples=== The following are examples of the first through twenty-first awards of an [[Army Commendation Medal]] with the bronze and silver oak leaf clusters: {| class="wikitable" |- | First award || {{ribbon devices|number=0|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Second award || {{ribbon devices|number=1|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Third award || {{ribbon devices|number=2|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Fourth award || {{ribbon devices|number=3|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Fifth award || {{ribbon devices|number=4|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Sixth award || {{ribbon devices|number=5|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Seventh award || {{ribbon devices|number=6|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Eighth award || {{ribbon devices|number=7|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Ninth award || {{ribbon devices|number=8|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Tenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=8|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=0|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Eleventh award || {{ribbon devices|number=10|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Twelfth award || {{ribbon devices|number=11|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Thirteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=12|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Fourteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=12|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=0|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Fifteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=12|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=1|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Sixteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=15|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Seventeenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=16|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Eighteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=16|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=0|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Nineteenth award || {{ribbon devices|number=16|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=1|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Twentieth award || {{ribbon devices|number=16|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} {{ribbon devices|number=2|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |- | Twenty-first award || {{ribbon devices|number=20|type=oak|ribbon=Army Commendation Medal ribbon.svg|width=106}} |}
