What must be done if the lapel of the coat obscures the RDI on a female's uniform?

The correct approach when the lapel of a female's uniform obscures the Regimental Distinctive Insignia (RDI) is to wear it aligned to the right edge of the ribbons or nameplate. This ensures that the insignia remains clearly visible and properly displayed, adhering to uniform standards and regulations.

By aligning the RDI in this manner, it allows for its prominent display while maintaining the overall aesthetic and formality of the uniform. This method respects the guidelines set forth for wearing insignia and awards, facilitating the effective representation of the service member's unit and achievements. The other options, such as removal or switching to a male uniform style, do not align with established uniform policies and would hinder the proper display of the insignia. Choosing to wear it aligned with the bottom of the lapel might not provide sufficient visibility and could lead to confusion about the service member's affiliation.
