![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Army's AR and DA PAM 670-1 uniform policies, dated Jan. "The only difference is with the Class Bs, you have the option of wearing your insignia and accoutrements, whereas your Tropical Dress you must have that," Mitchell said. The necktie is optional with short sleeves but mandatory for the long-sleeved shirt. Like the Tropical Dress version, the Class B can be worn with a long- or short-sleeved shirt. Quintana Mitchell, a noncommissioned officer for the Uniform Policy Branch, told. The new uniform guidance makes the Class B version almost identical to the Tropical Dress variation, which is primarily intended for soldiers in hot climates the tropical variation serves as the alternative for the Class A uniform, which requires the AGSU jacket, Master Sgt. 1, 2027, to acquire the new uniform, but the Army and Air Force Exchange Service has started offering the AGSU for purchase. These high waist trousers must be worn with the service coat, black wind breaker, black pullover or black cardigan sweaters.Senior leaders approved the new AGSU for everyday wear in late 2018 as a replacement for the blue Army Service Uniform, or ASU, after deciding that uniform is often too formal for everyday business use. Soldiers who have the high waist blue trousers worn with suspenders (designed to wear with the blue mess uniform) may wear these trousers with the current ASU during this transition period. Soldiers who have the current commercial white shirt without shoulder loops must wear as appropriate, the black wind breaker, black pullover or black cardigan sweaters with this uniform. Soldiers have the option of wearing a commercial long sleeve white shirt with shoulder loops and a four-in-hand necktie (black neck tab for female soldiers). Until the new ASU items are available, soldiers who have the low waist trousers with belt loops, or slacks, have the option of wearing a commercial short sleeve white shirt with shoulder loops in the open collar configuration or with a four-in-hand necktie (black neck tab for female soldiers). Soldiers will wear the four-in-hand necktie with the long sleeve white shirt when it is worn without the class 'A' coat. The class 'B' ASU includes the army blue trousers/skirt/slacks, a short or long sleeve white shirt. This uniform also exists in the army JROTC program in a modified version. New blue ASU class 'A' uniform with jump boots. Class 'A' ASU The class 'A' ASU includes the army blue coat and trousers/skirt/slacks, a short or long sleeved white shirt and four-in-hand necktie (male)/neck tab (female) (for accessories and other items authorized for wear on the class 'A' ASU, see ASU accessory items authorized for wear). ALARACT 202/2008 specifies that the 'dress blue ASU' for men includes a 'black bowtie.' It makes no mention of the black four-in-hand necktie in connection with the 'dress blue ASU.' Since, according to paragraph 10 of the same ALARACT and paragraph 27-19a of AR 670-1, the bow tie is worn only after retreat, this text suggests that the 'dress blue ASU' is not conceived of as a uniform order for the daytime, that the 'dress blue ASU' for males is not an all-hours uniform including an evening variant with bow tie, and that the 'class A ASU' is the highest order of dress for daytime wear. After retreat), men may wear a black bow tie rather than a black four-in-hand necktie, and commanders may direct that headgear is not required. ![]()
