If a second warfare device is worn on MARPATs, how far above the first device should its bottom edge be placed?

• A. 1/8 inch above
• B. 1/4 inch above
• C. 1/2 inch above
• D. Same level as first

Answer: (A)

When you wear two warfare devices on MARPATs, the displays are spaced with a small, precise offset to keep them neat and readable. The bottom edge of the second device should sit one eighth of an inch above the bottom edge of the first device. This tiny gap ensures a balanced, professional look and keeps the insignia aligned according to Marine Corps uniform standards. Larger gaps would look uneven and violate the established spacing, while placing them at the same level would crowd them together and disrupt the orderly appearance expected on the uniform.
