I'm guessing that's a french fouragee but it is a different color and is worn a different way.

A French Fourragère is a French Fourragère only if it looks as you presented it. I had one authorized for temporary wear in Korea, and it looks like the image you presented. Don't guess, find the real answer.

That is not a French Fourragère.

You can see in another picture that he is the only one who is wearing it. He is the one giving the commands to the Drill Team. I have never seen that uniform item before.

That description sounds like it could be the cord he is wearing.

The United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps was formed in 1934, at historic Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., to augment the United States Marine Band. The unit provided musical support to ceremonies around the nation's capital and, during World War II, was additionally tasked with Presidential support duties. For this additional role, they were awarded the scarlet and gold breastcord by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which they now proudly display on their uniform.



Here is a picture(same cord but worn different way)

Then is it really the same cord?

[Drill for life]

Yes it is just worn a different way. The one that C/1LT hazard posted worked for the White house and the Commandments own wear's it as a regular cord (so they don't get it mixed).

[Cowboy12]

It could be a pistol and whistle lanyard.
