Arrowhead device

The arrowhead device is a miniature bronze arrowhead that may be worn on campaign, expedition, and service medals and ribbons to denote participation in an amphibious assault landing, combat parachute jump, helicopter assault landing, or combat glider landing by a service member of the United States Army, United States Air Force, or United States Space Force.

[1][2][3] 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.

The arrowhead device must be authorized for wear in order to be worn on the suspension and service ribbons of the medal and is placed in position to the wearer's right of other devices on the ribbons including the "V" device, 3⁄16 in (4.8 mm) service star, and 3⁄16-inch campaign star.

[4] No more than one arrowhead may be worn on a medal and service ribbon.
