Soldier Systems

Its been in the works for quite some time but according to a story by The Army Times released today on their website, the Army issued a message today announcing wear policy for the new blue Army Service Uniform. As we reported back in May, the shirt is white. Other additions include bloused jump boots, berets with the blue uniform, and a combat service identification badge. The combat service identification badge is a metal version of the former wartime shoulder sleeve insignia but worn on the right pocket.

Okay, most folks will find this kind of mundane but the “official” word has it that the Army is going to a white shirt as part of the ASU. However, the new CSA has slowed plans to convert to the ASU. He hasn’t stopped plans, the transition just isn’t going to happen as quickly as originally planned.
