1-6. Recommending changes to Army uniforms

a. Recommendations for uniform item change. Soldiers may recommend uniform item changes through their chain

of command. If an Army command (ACOM), Army service component command (ASCC), or a direct reporting unit (DRU) recommends approval of a uniform suggestion, the recommendation will be forwarded to U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Each suggestion forwarded will reflect the command position; contain all ap- propriate supporting documentation; and be signed by the commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, or compa- rable level official. Suggestions not recommended for adoption are not forwarded. Suggestions forwarded without an ACOM, ASCC, or DRU command position will be returned to the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU command for action. If TRADOC recommends approval, it will be forwarded to Program Executive Office Soldier, 5901 Putnam Road, Building 328, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060–5852 for consideration.

b. Recommendations for uniform policy change. Soldiers may submit recommendations to the wear policy of uni-

form items using DA Form 2028. Significant policy changes must be endorsed through the Soldier’s chain of com- mand (ACOM, ASCC, or DRU level) to the Army G –1. Send requests to usarmy.pentagon.hqda-dcs-g-1.mbx.uni- form-policy@mail.mil.

c. Recommendations regarding military awards. Suggestions regarding the policy, criteria, and administrative in-

structions concerning individual military decorations, the Good Conduct Medal, service medals and service ribbons, combat and special skill badges and tabs, and unit decorations will be processed in accordance with AR 600 –8–22.
