& Dress Blue Center

[Scroll down this page to view or purchase the uniform items.]

Marlow White has set up this page as a resource for female Officers of the U.S. Army who are looking for information pertaining to the 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. And if you are not subscribed to our newsletter: do it! 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.

Why do female uniforms cost more than the male uniforms?
