Part I. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

1. ACTING DENTAL SURGEONS.—The full-dress uniform, the special evening dress, and the mess jacket are not authorized for acting dental surgeons; their dress, service, and white uniforms and overcoat will conform to those of medical officers, but without the shoulder strap or other insignia of rank. The collar ornaments for their dress, service, and white uniforms will be of silver instead of gold or bronze, the silver caduceus being superimposed in the center by a monogram of gold or gilt, bearing the letters "D. S." They will not wear the letters "IT. S." on the collar. 2. ADDITIONAL OFFICERS will wear the same uniform as other officers according to the rules set forth in this order. For the insignia of corps, department, or arm of service of those not regularly assigned to organizations, see par. 24, p. 18. 3. ALASKA.—Boots (rubber, hip), caps (fur), coats (Mackinaw and oilskin), moccasins, pea-jackets, felt shoes, and other articles of clothing specially provided for troops stationed in Alaska, including those of the Signal Corps on duty aboard cable ships during service in Alaskan waters, will be issued on memorandum receipt to company and detachment commanders for use of the men of their commands. 4. ALTERATIONS, FITTING OF UNIFORMS, ETC.—Al- terations will not be made in any article of the uniform that will result in a material change from the cut prescribed for it in regulations; nor will hooks be placed on the front of the coat below the buttons. Company commanders will exercise personal supervision over the fitting of the uniforms of the men of their companies, and permit only such changes as will insure a proper fit without dis- turbing the general appearance of the uniform. 5. ATHLETIC CLOTHES.—Tennis, baseball, football, golf, and other .athletic clothes may be worn when engaged in athletic games and sports. 6. BAND UNIFORMS.—Bands will wear the general uniform of their regiment or corps. Commanding officers may, from regi-

13 .

14 UNIFORM OP THE UNITED STATES ARMY. mental or band funds (A. R. 325 and 326), add such ornaments to the full dress and the dress uniform as they may deem proper and which are not contrary to the provisions of this order. Such ornaments will not include shoulder knots, shoulder straps, officers' trouser stripes, officers' insignia of rank, or any other article specially prescribed for officers. Drum majors of mounted bands will carry sabers. Those of dismounted bands will carry batons. The Ordnance Department will issue to bands, without charge, waist belts of enamel leather of the color of their corps or arm of the service. The Quartermaster Corps will issue, without charge, batons, music pouches, and black lynx-skin shakos. These articles will remain the property of the United States, but will be charged in case of loss or damage.

7. BOARDS OF OFFICERS will hold their first session in such uniform as the President may prescribe. Thereafter the board will decide the uniform. 8. CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS IN ARTICLES OF UNIFORM.—When changes or modifications are made in articles of clothing or equipage, issues to the Regular Army and Organized Militia of the kinds and patterns then on hand will be continued until the supply thereof is exhausted; and whenever any particular kind or size of articles of clothing or equipage that has been modi- fied is exhausted, requisitions for that kind or size will be filled from the new pattern that may be adopted 9. CHAPLAINS.—When a particular coat or vestment is required by the church to which a chaplain belongs he may wear such coat or vestment while conducting services. 10. CIVILIAN CLOTHING. (a) Civilian evening dress will not be worn at posts by officers belonging to the command. (b) Enlisted men on pass and furlough.—Enlisted men may wear civilian clothing on furlough, and within the continental limits of the United States they may be authorized by the commanding officer to wear civilian clothing when on pass.

(c) The wearing of civilian clothing within the post by officers and enlisted men will be restricted to the time necessary in entering and leaving same. (See "Uniform to be worn in camp and garrison," par. 51, p. 24.) (d) Philippines and other foreign stations.—Officers stationed in the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska, the Panama Canal Zone, and Porto Rico are not authorized to wear civilian clothing except when leaving or returning to such countries, unless UNIFORM OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY. 15 especially exempted by the Secretary of War. Officers with troops on other foreign service will be governed by the same rule. (e) Not to be accompanied by parts of uniform.—When officers or enlisted men wear civilian dress, it will not be accompanied by any mark or part of the uniform, except that officers may wear service breeches and regulation leather leggings or russet- leather boots with civilian coat when riding outside of post limits and off duty. The use of the service hat and the regulation saddlecloth by officers riding in civilian clothes is prohibited.

(/) Optional "wear of rosettes and buttons.—Rosettes or buttons of approved pattern, to consist of ribbons of the same color as those that pertain to the several service medals and badges, are authorized for optional wear with civilian clothing on the part of those persons to whom such medals and badges have been awarded or may be awarded, in lieu of the medals or badges to which such rosettes or buttons pertain respectively. 11. CIVILIANS NOT TO WEAR THE UNIFORM.—In Ala- bama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Mis- souri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin it is a misdemeanor for any person not an officer or enlisted man of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, Revenue Service or Foresty Service, or inmate of a veterans' or soldiers' home to wear the uniform of the United States Army. The law does not apply to persons of the theatrical profession while actually engaged in their profession. 12. CONFORMITY OF ARTICLES OF THE UNIFORM AND ARMS AND EQUIPMENTS TO STANDARD PAT- TERNS, AND PUBLICATION OF DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS OF SAME.—All articles of the uniform, including garments of headgear, footgear, ornaments, insignia, buttons, decorations, and other articles herein specified, will, with the exceptions stated in this paragraph, conform in the quality, design, and color to the sealed patterns in the office of the Quartermaster General, who will from time to time publish descriptions and specifications of such patterns. Exceptions: Officers' collars, cuffs, evening dress shirts, neckties, shirt studs, shoes, socks, and white gloves; also suspenders for officers and enlisted men.

C." on the caduceus (see par. 25, p. 19). 15. DIGNITY OF THE UNIFORM.—Officers, especially organization commanders, will impress upon enlisted men that the dignity of the uniform and the respect due it are best preserved when its wearers so conduct themselves as never to cast discredit upon it. Permission to wear civilian clothes when on pass should never be granted enlisted men merely as a reward for good conduct, as this would appear to discredit the uniform. Such permission should be given only when conditions indicate that it would be for the best interests of the service, and is not in violation of the provisions of these regulations. 16.

SASHES.—General officers above the grade of brigadier general will, with the full dress uniform, wear the sash across the body from right shoulder to the left side and not extended around the waist; brigadier generals will wear the sash in one thickness around the waist, so as to fit snugly over the belt. 102. SHIRTS. (a) Olive drab.—The commanding officer may, when he con- siders it advisable, on account of climatic or other conditions, prescribe the wearing of the olive-drab shirt without the coat at certain drills and without the sweater when in the field. (See par. Ill, p. 48.) A belt will then be worn instead of suspenders. When the shirt is so worn, elastic or other arm bands will not be worn.

(6) When the olive-drab shirt is worn without the coat or sweater, except when the coat or sweater is only temporarily removed, the insignia of rank will be worn on the collar by officers, as prescribed in par. 82, p. 37, and the chevrons will be worn on the sleeves of the shirt by noncommissioned officers as prescribed in par. 85 (c), p. 40.

SHOULDER KNOTS will be worn on the full dress coat, the special evening dress coat, and the blue and the white mess jackets, except that general officers will wear epaulets with the dismounted full dress, unless capes, waterproofs, or overcoats are worn because of inclement weather, in which event the shoulder knots may be worn. 106.

Service coats will be packed and taken along by troops going into permanent or maneuver camps and issued on arrival. When troops are to take the field at other times, and, in the opinion of the commanding officer, conditions are likely to arise that will mate the wearing of service coats desirable, he will order the coats of the enlisted men packed, and they may then or subsequently be sent forward and issued, being repacked when necessary. When service coats are on hand, individual soldiers when out of camp will not wear the sweater as an outer garment, except by permission of the commanding officer in particular cases. On the march and in other military formations officers will wear the sweater when the enlisted men do. Sweaters will form a part of the surplus kit. For insignia of rank on the sweater, see par. 86, p. 43. 112. TIN CUP will be carried as prescribed in orders from the War Department and in authorized equipment manuals, whenever issued.

NOTES.

1. Except by members of the guard, the service uniform will not be worn out of barracks after retreat by enlisted men in garrison, unless prescribed by the commanding officer for some particular duty, or authorized as stated in note 3, below. 2. There are two kinds of service uniforms, the woolen olive-drab and the cotton olive-drab. The woolen olive-drab uniform will be prescribed for habitual wear when the climate or weather does not require the cotton olive-drab. 3. The cotton olive-drab will be prescribed by commanding officers for soldiers on pass in warm weather and also for use in garrison in warm weather when out of barracks after retreat. The woolen olive-drab will not be worn by soldiers on pass from commands supplied with the dress uniform. 4. When under arms, every enlisted man will carry the arms pertaining to his grade and branch of service. 5. With dismounted service uniform, in garrison under arms and when changing station by rail or water, noncommissioned staff officers will wear belt and saber instead of belt and cartridge box. 6. With dismounted service uniform, in the field, noncommissioned staff officers will carry the pistol instead of the saber. 7. The service cap is not authorized for enlisted men in the Philippines; the service hat will be worn for field duty. 8. When troops are traveling by rail, the train commander may cause the arms and equipments not required lor the necessary guard duty en route to be properly secured and stored in a property or baggage car. (Par. 393, Field Service Regula- tions, 1914.) UNIFORM OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY. 63

9. Trousers, cotton or woolen service, may be issued to and worn without leggings by such enlisted men as are on duty in offices, in the buildings in which offices are situated, including enlisted men of the Hospital Corps while on duty in dispensaries. The trousers will be worn only during the time actually engaged on such office duty. 10. The service hat will be worn with the service uniform for field duty and target practice. It will also be worn with the fatigue uniform and v. ith stable frocks, except by enlisted men of the Coast Artillery Corps. It may be worn in garrison with the service uniform when waterproof capes, overcoats, slickers, or nonchos are worn or when, in the opinion of the post commander, exceptional or severe climatic conditions would make the wearing of the caps endanger the health of his command.
