Flag Orders: Sea Org Uniform Series

SEA ORGANIZATION

(This FO has been updated and simplified so that it contains all authorized service insignia, generally called campaign bars. Some new insignia have been added, while others are retired or cancelled by this issue as they are no longer needed. The use of stars on service insignia has also been clarified. This revision cancels all previous non-LRH issues which awarded service insignia. Any future issues awarding new service insignia must be approved by Int Officer Selection Board and issued as part of the FO 2327 series to be considered valid.)

(Revisions not in script)

Sea Org Uniform Series 10

CAMPAIGN BARS

Campaign bars or ribbons are rectangular bars made of tight woven colored cloth on a brass backing which can be pinned to the uniform. They are about 3 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide, and can be obtained from the Sea Org PX (Post Exchange).

These bars are awarded to S. O. members for their contributions to the continued expansion and success of the Sea Org. They are worn only on dress uniform jackets as laid out in FO 3889, S. O. Uniform Series 7, UNIFORM INSIGNIA.

One does not just go over this list and decide what ribbons he would feel okay about wearing or would approve for himself. Service insignia are awarded to individuals based on applications submitted to and approved by Int OSB (Officer Selection Board). The application is routed via the person's area OSB and OSB FLAG to Int OSB. A form is provided in FO 2327RE-1, APPLICATION FOR SERVICE INSIGNIA. The application must contain full evidence of the person's eligibility for the campaign bars requested including evidence that the person has a clean ethics record at the time of assignment. Any matters of dispute on the award of service insignia are to be referred to an HCO Board of Review.

The authorized service insignia for the Sea Org are listed below. Also listed are their arbitrary catalogue numbers from the military supply house used by the Sea Org PX, at this writing.
