The Army spends $1438.78 to clothe each new Soldier. It doesn’t really sound like a lot but when you have more than half a million men and women under arms there is a serious investment running around in those duffel bags. And, this is just the basics, ACUs, boots, dress uniform and so on. The big ticket items like armor and packs are issued as Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment at the unit and what is issued is based on what the Soldier does and where he is assigned.
Check out what each male Soldier gets issued and must maintain. Female issue is similar with a few replacements and additions.
PEO Soldier works closely with the Army Uniform Board to manage the items in the clothing bag. This is just one way that PEO Soldier touches the lives of all Soldiers, everyday.
