About this file
This document is an Army uniform policy guide published by the DCS G-1 Uniform Policy Branch that establishes wear standards for the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU). The guide provides detailed specifications for how male and female soldiers of all ranks must wear the AGSU, including positioning requirements for insignia, badges, ribbons, and other uniform components. For female soldiers, the AGSU coat belt must face to the right, while for male soldiers it must face to the left. Necktie length is standardized at no shorter than 2 inches above the belt buckle and no longer than the bottom of the buckle for both genders. The document specifies precise measurement requirements for placement of components such as grade insignia (5/8 inch from the outside shoulder seam for officers), US insignia (5/8 inch above the notch on collar), branch insignia (1-1/4 inches below US insignia), and service ribbons (1/8 inch above the left breast pocket).
The guide establishes separate standards for officers and enlisted personnel, with distinctions in how insignia and badges are worn. ID badges are limited to one per side, with no more than two total badges worn. Service stripes for enlisted personnel are worn at a 30-degree angle on the outside bottom half of both sleeves, with each additional stripe spaced 1/8 inch above the first. Overseas service bars are positioned on the right sleeve, with specific measurements differing between officer and enlisted personnel. The document also addresses optional uniform items including the heritage green pullover sweater, all-weather coat, windbreaker, and brown leather jacket, each with specified insignia placement and wear conditions. The AGSU Class B composition consists of heritage taupe trousers or slacks, heritage tan short or long-sleeved shirt, heritage green necktie (optional with short sleeves), garrison cap or service cap, and heritage walnut oxford shoes, with female soldiers having the option of wearing a skirt and pumps.
