Patrol Cap
Does anyone know if there has been a change in AR 670-1 allowing the wear of patrol caps in garrison?
Have been wondering if there has been a change as I am seeing more and more soldiers wearing soft caps in garrison. If there has been a change does anyone have or know the link to verify.
I know that the reg. states that the wear is authorized in the motor pool, a field environment, or on a work detail at the commanders discretion. However I see more and more people wearing them as their normal everyday headgear. Has there been a milper message put out allowing it?
Basically it is the commanders decision. See below:
Soldiers will wear the beret with the utility and service (class A and B) uniforms in garrison environments, only. Soldiers will wear the patrol cap (formerly called the BDU cap) in the field when they are authorized to remove their Kevlar helmet. Commanders will determine wear of the beret during deployments.
Commanders may authorize the wear of the patrol cap on work details or in other situations when wear of the beret is impractical, such as in the motor pool where it could become easily soiled. The only soldiers authorized to blouse boots with the class A and B uniforms are soldiers authorized to wear of the maroon, green, or tan berets; those assigned to Air Assault coded positions; and MPs performing MP duties.
Soldiers who are not issued or who do not wear the Black Beret will wear the patrol cap with utility uniforms and the Garrison Cap with the service uniforms.
The beret is a retainable, non-recoverable organizational-issue item. Therefore, soldiers will not return the beret to CIF when they PCS/ETS. Additionally, when berets become unserviceable, soldiers may turn in the berets to CIF for a replacement beret.
