A question targeted at those who have current service knowledge.
On page 41 of the current Soldier magazine, a photo is featured showing an Army Staff Sergeant crewing a Sentinel R1 aircraft and sporting the "IA" half-wing. Just curious, but is the half-wing formally awarded, and worn on other uniforms such as shirts and No.2 dress by Army personnel?

PS:
I have no axe to grind, I have no objection to the half-wing either existing or being awarded and even have no issues with the wearing of growbags. Purely curious as I've not yet seen an soldier wearing one in other uniforms and am not likely to be in a position to.
