Is it authorized to wear the Woodland or ACU Field jacket in OCPs?

So, I have a field jacket I got from my cousin after he got out of the army and my dad's old woodland field jacket. Is it allowed to wear these in OCPs since (I think) they're considered TA-50?

They were clothing bag items when I was in. The woodland I know for sure isn't authorized as the wear out date was back when I was still in. No clue about the ACU one lol

NO. The old BDU camo pattern was outdated many years ago and is no longer authorized for Duty wear.

The BDU (woodland) is not authorized anymore. You can wear the ACU jacket if its authorized by the local commander (per PAM 670-1).

If you are currently wearing OCP, then what you can wear with it is specifically listed in a message.

in the 80s in the field you could line up 10 guys and have 15 different uniforms. from crute boots to tanker boots, crute hats, pile hats, to boonie hats. as long as it was green and your boots were close to being black...... train like you fight.

AR 670-1 and DA PAM 670-1 will answer your questions.
