Those National Guard members who subsequently serve in the active or reserve federal forces of the United States Army , Navy , Marine Corps , Coast Guard , or United States Air Force (i.e., on active duty or as members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Reserves) may not continue to wear and display such decorations on a military uniform. Active duty regulations allow their members to accept but not wear state awards. In addition, National Guard members activated (mobilized) may not wear their state awards while serving in Title 10 (federal) status.

Most states and territories authorize the wear of other state's/territory's awards if a member has earned awards from a state or territory that he/she is not presently assigned to. The order of precedence is typically the presently assigned state/territory comes first then awards from the District Of Columbia then subsequent states by their Order Into Statehood then Puerto Rico , Guam , and the U.S. Virgin Islands .Contact the state's/territory's National Guard Headquarters for the proper wear of state awards

The following is a list of National Guard decorations, as issued by each of the fifty United States. Puerto Rico , Guam , the U.S. Virgin Islands , and the District Of Columbia also maintain a National Guard force with their own set of awards and decorations.
