  • Officers' Uniforms and Gear
    officer’s guide Lesson 3: Officers’ uniforms and gear Reference: The Officer’s Guide, 1944 edition; AR 600-40; FM 21-15. Study assignment: Lesson text, attached. What the uniform signifies “The wearing of the prescribed uniform identifies the officer or soldier as a member of the Army of the United States.”1 It identifies the wearer as one who has sworn to defend his nation against a determined enemy, even at the risk of life; the details of the uniform inform anyone to understand the level of authority and responsibility of the Officer or soldier, and in general the kind of job he does. It also identifies all soldiers as members of a single team. How to wear the uniform Rationale: The uniform you wear—as a soldier or as a living historian—represents a long tradition of courage, resoluteness, selflessness, and sacrifice. The manner in which you wear the uniform is not a trivial thing. But keep in mind that wearing it improperly cannot reflect on the soldiers who wore it under enemy fire. But it can reflect on you. The charge is on you to wear it in a way that would not suggest a lack of respect for those who wore it in earnest. Manner of wearing the uniform: The uniform should be kept clean and neat and in good repair to the extent possible. Reenactors get this backwards in their fevered desire to look like seasoned field soldiers. Here’s a philosopical view: A soldier is a man trying to stay clean and presentable under impossible conditions.
