Oak leaf cluster
:''Not to be confused with the oak leaf rank insignia of a Major or Lieutenant Colonel ''
An oak leaf cluster is a miniature bronze or silver twig of four oak leaves with three acorns on the stem that is authorized by the United States Armed Forces as a ribbon device for a specific set of decorations and awards of the United States Army, Air Force, and Department of Defense to denote subsequent decorations and awards.〔DoD Awards Manual 1348.33, V3, P. 16 (2) bottom, Nov. 23, 2010〕
The bronze oak leaf cluster represents one additional award, while the silver oak leaf cluster is worn in lieu of five bronze oak leaf clusters.〔(Army Regulation 670-1 )〕
==Criteria and wear==
Oak leaf clusters are worn with the stems of the leaves pointing to the wearer’s right. For medals, 13/32 inch oak leaf clusters are worn on the medal's suspension ribbon. If four oak leaf clusters are worn on the suspension ribbon, the fourth is placed above the middle one in the row of three.〔 For service ribbons, 5/16 inch oak leaf clusters are worn, with no more than four oak leaf clusters being worn side by side.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/134833vol3.pdf )〕 If the number of authorized oak leaf clusters exceeds four, a second ribbon is authorized for wear and is worn after the first ribbon.〔 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.〔
