Identify the proper wear of accessories on the Military Uniform Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:35 Time of Instruction: 40 mins Media: Slide Presentation NOTE: SHOW Slide 4 (History of the Military Uniform) NOTE: Instruct students to follow along in their Battle Book Extreme NOTE: The following provides topics by which group discussion may be initiated. Be prepared to give examples, whether of personal experience, tradition, or an example to emphasize a point. a. Purposes and history of the military uniform. (1) To provide a means by which units might readily be identified in action or on the march. (2) A means by which rank could be distinguished. (3) To foster pride of service and esprit de corps. The uniform in America is based on European tradition. Some of the history behind it is as follows: (a) The idea of camouflaged uniforms began in the American Revolutionary War with homespun brown deerskins. But, continental soldiers wore uniforms patterned after the British. Not until World War I did the U.S. Army begin to wear uniforms designed to blend with the terrain and vegetation. (b) Until World War I, the "dress-up" uniform and the "work" uniform were one and the same. This created obvious problems in camouflage, suitability on the battlefield, ease of cleaning, etc. (c) Today, the dress uniforms preserve the traditional values of the past by retaining some of the colors and ornamentation of former times. However, the work uniform is designed for use on the battlefield and makes no effort to be distinctive except in insignia. NOTE: SHOW Slide 5 (Army Physical Fitness Uniform) b. First, let’s take a look at the Army Physical Fitness Uniform, or APFU. This is a uniform you can wear on and off the installation, when authorized by your commander. Your APFU consists of four core items, which are identical for males and females, plus some accessories. The core items are: (1) Black running shorts with “Army” in gold. (2) Black t-shirt with “Army” in gold (both short sleeve and long sleeve). (3) Black with Gold running jacket. (4) Black running pants. c. Accessories: 4 (1) In the way of accessories, you need to have a pair of running shoes. You buy these commercially. I highly recommend you buy real running shoes, not just any old athletic shoes. (2) Socks have to be plain and white or black with no logos, stripes, symbols, or swooshes. Socks have to be long enough to cover your ankle bone, but not as long as soccer or tube socks. (3) Also, you can wear black spandex running shorts. But, these must be purchased at Army clothing sales. (4) Then, depending on the weather and the time of day or night, you’ll also wear: (a) Reflective belts or vests. (b) Gloves. (c) Black fleece cap. d. Tips on wearing the APFU. A few tips on how to wear some of the elements in the IPFU: (1) Zip up your jacket; don’t roll or push up the sleeves. (2) Tuck in your t-shirt. (3) Wear your socks straight up; don’t roll or fold them over. (4) Pull your watch cap down snugly; fold up the bottom of the cap; don’t roll it up. NOTE: SHOW Slide 6 (Army Combat Uniform – Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP)) e. Utility Uniform: Army Combat Uniform. (OCP) (1) Jacket. (Wearing Guidelines) (a) Loose fitting. (b) Alterations to make the uniform form fitting are not authorized. (c) Jacket will be worn outside the trousers. (d) Blouse bellows for increased mobility. (e) Sleeves worn down at all times. (f) Jacket must not extend below the top of the cargo pocket and must not be higher than the bottom of the side pocket. (2) Trouser. (Wearing Guidelines) (a) Loose fitting. (b) Alterations to make the uniform form fitting are not authorized. 5 (c) Trousers will be worn bloused using the elastic drawstring and must not extend past the third eyelet of the boots. (3) Occasions for wear: (a) On duty or during travel when prescribed by commanders. (b) For both male and female Soldiers. (c) Worn by officers and enlisted personnel. (d) Year round all-purpose uniform. NOTE: SHOW Slide 7 (Army Combat Uniform (Insignia (OCP)) (4) Insignias. (a) Rank. Embroidered rank insignia is worn centered on the front hook and loop- face pad of the jacket breastbone for ranks private through general. (b) Last name/U.S. Army. Embroidered last name is worn on the right pocket attached to the Velcro. The embroidered U.S. Army is worn on the left pocket attached to the Velcro. (c) U.S. Flag. Is placed directly on top of the right should pocket flap. (d) Organization Patch. Organization patch is worn on left sleeve, centered on the hook and loop-face below the left should pocket flap. NOTE: Army National Guard (ARNG) and Reserve (USAR) Soldiers are authorized to wear the insignia of their parent ARNG or USAR organization from the start of training. NOTE: Cover local SOP/policy concerning wear of ACU. NOTE: SHOW Slide 8 (Army Uniform – Patrol Cap) (5) Patrol cap. Wearing guidelines: (a) Straight-sided, flat topped, with a double thick bill, and internal pocket. (b) Universal camouflage pattern. (c) Now worn with nametape on back of the patrol cap. (d) Worn straight on the head so that the cap band creates a straight line parallel to the ground. (e) No hair will be visible on the forehead. (f) Subdued pin-on or embroidered insignia of grade will be worn centered on the front of the cap left to right, top to bottom by all Officers and Enlisted personnel. Chaplains will wear branch insignia. (g) No other insignia will be worn on the cap. Other, as directed by unit SOP. NOTE: SHOW Slide 9 (Exercise) 6 NOTE: SHOW Slide 10 (Army Uniform – Beret) (5) Beret. NOTE: Discuss the correct wear of the beret using the following points as guidelines while addressing any concerns you have regarding the proper wear. • The beret is worn with Class A, Class B, and Class C Uniforms. • Binding is 1 inch above and parallel to eyebrows. • Flash is centered on left eye. • Hair should not be showing below binding. • Excess material draped over right ear, but no lower than middle of ear. • Beret is formed to the shape of the head. NOTE: Every Soldier is familiar with the ACU, we see it every day on television, however the Class A Army Service Uniform is not as familiar, or for that matter not as simple. To instruct this last portion of the Lesson Plan, it is best to have a battle buddy wear the Class A, or in the alternative wear the Class A uniform yourself, and as you discuss each part of the accessories, badges, etc., point to or have your battle buddy exhibit the particular area you are discussing.

    The Chief’s Gorilla Guide For Looking Good In Uniform By Chief Master Sergeant Robert D. Chiafos CHIEF, IOWA CIVIL AIR PATROL ACADEMY Camp Dodge, IA 3rd Edition (Revised) January 2007 The Commander’s Responsibility Each commander needs to acknowledge and accept responsibility for the appearance of all individuals under their command. Every military unit has a uniform culture. Left undirected, and on their own, members of the unit will collectively and unconsciously set a standard for wearing the uniform. Once established, that standard will perpetuate itself. As new members come in they will observe the standard, and dress down or up to match it. In any unit where uniforms are not inspected regularly, or where the leadership fails to immediately confront individual violators; the standard will plummet like water seeking its lowest level. This is a serious breach of military discipline and the worst kind of leadership! Sadly, in some units, the senior members are the greatest offenders. No matter how bad the current standard is in your unit, it can be turned around. First, the commander must meet standards, if you don’t - correct it! You cannot conduct an inspection, or correct infractions, when the offenders look better than you do. Next, demand compliance from your Cadet Programs Officer, and all cadet officers and NCOs. When infractions are observed, use the chain of command to immediately confront and correct violations. When repeated correction fails, revoke the privilege of wearing the Air Force Uniform. Openly reprimand offenders and reward those who exceed the standards. Uniform inspections must be the first order of business at any CAP meeting, gathering, or other event.

  • Camouflage Combat Uniform
    CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT UNIFORM COL Robert F. Mortlock, USA (Ret.) The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives. Part II analyzes how the Army decided to change the ITIO camouflage pattern on combat uniforms through UIS N Q UN C CH C A EAR OM IV an informed, knowledge-based process.

    Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale e dell’Identità Siciliana Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali e dell’Identità Siciliana Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale Collection of historical uniforms Ing. Aldo Scaccianoce Lions Club Acireale Anno Sociale 2012-2013 Presidente Rosario Musmeci Galatea Editrice - Acireale INTRODUCTION The collection of uniforms located in the Town Hall takes its name from the scholar Aldo Scaccianoce, who gathered each piece. The relics shown have a double significance: historical and artistic. Every piece has its own historical story to tell, as they have all been worn during events that have shaped European history over the course of the XIX century, while the nineteenth century has been pregnant with highly artistic cultural moments since the Napoleonic period. These relics, in fact, also give testimony of fashion, taste, make and aesthetic quality that make them real masterpieces of craftsmanship. The Assessorato ai Beni Culturali (Department of Cultural Heritage) of the Region of Sicily added the collection to its priceless patrimony in 1988, to avoid the dispersal of the important cultural collection. The exposition installation was done by the architect Giuseppe Anfuso. Within each single cabinet each relic preserves its historical, military and artistic relevance. PREFACE The work presented is born from the desire of the Lions Club Aci- reale to give service to the town of Acireale, favouring its tourism, and with it, its economy.

Anderson-Kaapa Thesis Submitted to the University of Houston In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Design 2018 Thesis Committee: Jorge D. Camba, PhD Gordon Vos, PhD Ricardo Bolaños, CPT U.S. Army 1 DreVan K. Anderson-Kaapa Approved by Committee Members: Chair of the Committee Jorge D. Camba, Phd ​ Industrial Design Gordon Vos, Phd Industrial Design ​ Ricardo Bolaños, CPT US Army Military Science ​ 2 ABSTRACT Military equipment is designed to protect and support soldiers in the operational environment, which can be highly stressful, hazardous, and extremely challenging. In addition to the rigorous training that soldier’s receive to operate under these conditions, they are also issued specialized equipment, spanning offensive, protective and supportive capabilities. It is critical that military equipment does not compound the stress that military personnel are likely to endure while deployed to a combat theatre. This paper examines the military rucksack as a crucial piece of equipment and the effects of rucksack design on the performance of military personnel. Specifically, we examine ergonomic factors of time, accessibility, and mobility which comparably have not received the same attention as other aspects such as load carriage and weight distribution. We report the results of three experimental studies with a group of participants designed to evaluate the drawbacks of current rucksack design from a human factors standpoint. Our results shed light on the most relevant problematic areas of current designs and the requirements for developing future more effective solutions.
