I am planning on building a box for my girlfriend who used to be in the Army. She has 5 ARCOM's, one with the "V" device. From reading the regulation would this be a ribbon with 3 oak leaf clusters and a V at the very left side as I would be looking at it?

no, it would be on 4 bronze  olc, the v is still on the left side.

This.

The V device is one award of an ARCOM.  She has 5 total so, 4 bronze OLC.  V is on left as you look at it, wearers right as it is closest to the heart.

+1, a buddy of mine was put in for a bronze star, but they downgraded it to a ARCOM w/ V.

I know the feeling ! During OIF 07-09 was going to get an aditional ARCOM , and my command in their infinite wisdom said hey lets put them both together and put you in for a bronze star !! I said no thanks I'll take the arcoms but they refused and of course it was downgraded back to one ARCOM ..... Thanks guys really.
