GUIDANCE FOR WEARING THE ORDER OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER MEDALLION
A. Army Regulation 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Military Uniforms, paragraph 29-13, addresses badges authorized for wear on Army uniforms. "A badge is awarded to an individual for identification purposes or for attaining a special skill or proficiency." Subparagraph 29-13(d) states that badges of civic and quasi-military societies of the United States and international organizations of a military nature are worn only while the wearer is actually attending meetings or functions of such organizations. These badges will not be worn to and from such meetings. The Military Order of Saint Christopher is considered a badge.
B. The Transportation Corps has directed that the Military Order of Saint Christopher Medallion be worn only to formal Transportation Corps sponsored dinners, events, dining-ins-outs, balls and other military formal occasions where like military badges are worn that will not detract from the dignity of the award. The Military Order of Saint Christopher Medallion will not be worn to formal events of professional organizations except events sponsored by the Transportation Corps Regimental Association and the National Defense Transportation Association.
C. ARMY BLUE MESS OR ARMY WHITE MESS UNIFORM. The Military Order of Saint Christopher Medallion will be worn with the ribbon around the neck, outside the shirt collar and inside the coat collar. The medallion should hang at the full length of the ribbon.

The medallion will hang over the four-in-hand necktie near the collar and above the top button of the coat or just under the bow tie or neck tab near the collar and above the top button of the coat.
