a. All-purpose wear. The ASU–M is authorized for wear on and off duty, on and off the installation, unless re-

stricted by the commander. The ASU–M is not intended for wear as an all-purpose uniform when other uniforms are more appropriate.

the commander. Soldiers may wear variations of the ASU–M:

such functions. The ASU–M is normally considered appropriate for social or official functions off the installation, such as memorial services, funerals, weddings, inaugurals, patriotic ceremonies, and similar functions.

lieu of the uniform for social functions.
