Marlow White has set up this page as a resource for Non-Commissioned Officers of the U.S. Army who are looking for information pertaining to the Army Service (Class A) & Dress Blue Uniform. It is meant to summarize applicable Army Uniform Regulations. We will show any interim-change items in red.

20 Aug 08: The Army has announced the new ASU Wear Policy. To read the policy, visit our ASU Transition Information Center. We also recommend you subscribe to our Army Newsletter. Our newsletter is easy to subscribe to (and unsubscribe from) and will be our primary tool for sharing timely information with our Soldier customers through this transition.
