Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms – Flashcards

AR 670-1

The flag is worn on the right shoulder to give the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

The Nation is at war and will be for the foreseeable future. As an expeditionary Army, our Soldiers' commitment to fight and win our Nation's War, at home and abroad, is best exemplified by permanently wearing the U.S. Flag insignia on the utility uniforms.

When operating motorcycles, bicycles or like vehicles but once the travel is complete protective headgear must be removed and army headgear donned.

Soldiers will wear identification tags at all times while in duty uniform unless otherwise directed by the Commander (AR 670-1 31Mar2014)

Extended Cold Weather Clothing System.

The beret is worn so that the headband (edge binding) is straight across the forehead, 1inch above the eyebrows. The flash is positioned over the left eye, and the excess material is draped over to the right ear, extending to at least the top of the ear, and no lower than the middle of the ear. Personnel will cut off the ends of the adjusting ribbon and secure the ribbon knot inside the edge binding at the back of the beret. When worn properly, the beret is formed to the shape of the head; therefore, Soldiers may not wear hairstyles that cause distortion of the beret.
