DA PAM 670-1: 14-6. General guidelines

14-6. General guidelines

a. The AGSUs are intended for wear during most duty, nonfield, or utility occasions and for travel and off-duty

purposes (see app D for possession date). While both the Class A and B AGSUs are authorized for year-round wear, the appropriate uniform is worn based on weather conditions, duties, and the formality of the occasion. When a specific service uniform is not prescribed for formations or other occasions when uniformity in appearance is not required, Soldiers may wear the Class A AGSU or any of the variations of the Class B AGSU with the accessories authorized for these uniforms.

b. Soldiers will not wear those awards and decorations on the heritage tan 566 shirt that they cannot wear properly

because of size or configuration. Commanders will not require the wear of optional items, such as windbreakers or sweaters, unless such items are provided to the Soldier without cost.

c. Individuals who purchase uniforms or uniform items from commercial sources are responsible for ensuring that

the items conform to military specifications or are manufactured in accordance with the policies prescribed by the uniform quality control program (see AR 670–1 for details). Only those alterations authorized by AR 700–84 and TM 10–227 are authorized. Soldiers will wear these uniforms with the shirt tucked into the trousers so that the shirt edge is aligned with the front fly opening, so the outside edge of the belt buckle forms a straight “gig line.” Female Soldiers are authorized to wear the shirt untucked in accordance with paragraph 14–10. Only Soldiers authorized to wear the tan, green, or maroon berets; MP personnel performing MP duties; and those assigned to air assault coded positions may wear bloused (tucked-in or by the use of blousing rubbers or bands) trousers with brown leather combat boots.
