The person says it’s not in 670-1 but rather the field sanitation guide. I can’t find any such regulation anywhere. Anyone know?

So they’re saying the right thing for the wrong reasons. <br /><br />The current field sanitation TC just says “wear appropriate cold weather gear as directed by the commander” SFC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 05 Dec 2019 12:06:54 -0500 2019-12-05T12:06:54-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-a-temperature-reg-for-wear-of-winter-gear-in-the-army?n=5310506&urlhash=5310506 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If the person pushing that out is your commander, they are correct. Uniform is entirely at command discretion.

Id tell em to shove it up their ass.

I think it&#39;s around 45° in dry air. I don&#39;t recall exactly but I bet my magical information box will elaborate. Every person has a different threshold. So I stand by my previous statement of &quot;tell em to stick it up their ass.&quot; You&#39;re responsible for your own health and life.

There&#39;s a chart if you google it on your magical information box. I&#39;d post here but you can&#39;t.
