If I am in the OCP ACU, do I wear UCP or OCP name tapes and rank on my green fleece or "puffy coat?"

I've looked everywhere for an actual answer, but all I see is one suggested answer of "UCP tapes." Which wasn't convincing. Thanks in advance!

It's ucp. That originally what goes with it. Tan fleeces get OCp tapes

Isn't OCP ACU an oxymoron? I think they need to match...

UCP with the green fleece, OCP with the coyote brown fleece. Too easy

The tapes should match the uniform. If wearing the green fleece, you should wear the UCP tapes.

I am going to go with what I have been doing regardless of how silly it looks.

Here in Leavenworth we have the Major's College, and if their doing it I realize that I'm probably in the clear.

I wear my UCP name tapes on my Foliage Green Fleece. Because otherwise it doesn't match and would be a great way to send a CSM into a fit.

But... I honestly never wear my fleece or fleece cap and simply wear my waffle top to avoid any confusion and corrections based off of someone's (to include my own) interpretation.

I am going to call my uniform the AFU, the Army Fighting Uniform. Components will be any mixture of whatever you want. Throw in the black socks and the white T-shirt and we are good. Flip flops will also be an option. I will institute this when I get my second star!

Currently attending ALC in Ft Eustis, VA and the SGL's put out " when wearing the foliage green fleece over OCP (scorpion ACU) you will wear OCP name tapes". Can someone please assist me in locating this information in black and white since its been an issue at my unit as well.

I complety agree tapes should match outer garment pattern. For the life of me I can't find any reg or memorandum to back me up though.
