<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Look up the regulation on uniform wear to get the answer you need.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The bigger issue non-issue, non DOD approved equipment. Since it&#39;s a plate carrier and offers no ballistic protection, that&#39;s not a big deal, until your unit says no plate carriers. They&#39;re usually only authorized for vehicle crew members anyway, simply because there is no ballistic protection.<br /><br />As for the color, we have lots of outdated patterns being worn on TA50.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Everything is always commanders discretion. That being said I wouldn&#39;t spend the money on one until your knew for certain how your unit feels about them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wear what the Army issue to you from CIF. I have been in the Army for a while and the days of aftermarket bought gear for Soldiers, in regular Army units are over. It used to be a thing but major items such as body Armor nowadays are issued at CIF and that is what is expected for you to wear. They may not be the most comfortable and lightweight item out there but trust me, it is design to stop a few bullets if worn correctly. You may be able to buy and aftermarket pouch or sling but thats all the gear I have seen bought by the individual Soldier in a regular Army unit not SOF. If the unit allows something different then by all mean spend the money if not save some of that hard earn money for a vacation or investments.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lay out your TA50. Put the new gear you just bought with your hard earned money next to the free stuff that has gone through army testing. <br /><br />Once that is done, use your device to call your FFL (hint, it&#39;s not a social media platform) over. Ask him which one is acceptable

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Negative unless your fucking....idk SF, 75th, 160th SOAR, and anything SOF really.....maybe if it is ocp or multicam you can get away with it provided it has the commanders approval. <br /><br />AR 670-1<br />And DA Pamphlet 670-1 are both gonna be your best friend for this one.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Chain of command question. There are always guys in the unit that go out and blow their paycheck on gear from Tactical Tailor. Only to be told they can&#39;t use it because it is the wrong color. If able, print out a colored picture to bring to your team/squad leader.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes but easier to go with OCP.
