- Additional approval for wear made by Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF).
- Only officers holding the rank of Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel are authorized to wear this badge.
- Must exercise Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) authority in the command assignment.
- Must be competitively selected by a board (Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC)/MAJCOM/Field Operating Agency (FOA), etc.) for their command position.

Famous quotes containing the word wear:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
