typically, for three awards you would need two oak clusters. the ribbon counts as one. However, for the good conduct medal, you would wear a knot for each award. It varies dependant upon the actual award, but for AAM's, Arcoms, etc the ribbon always counts as the first award.

The history of the oak leaf cluster is worn by military soldiers in the Army, Air Force, and Department of Defense that recognizes high achievements and awards.
One would wear a single Silver Oak Leaf Cluster. The Silver Oak Leaf Cluster signifies that the Army Achievement Medal has been awarded 5 subsequent times and the Ribbon itself signifies the first one awarded. For every AAM awarded after this, one would wear a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster (signifying one awarded AAM) until one reaches 11 total awards. At this point, one would wear a second Silver Oak Leaf Cluster.
