OK to fly in ACUs again

welcomed change for those of us who fly to duty

Leaders,

Effective immediately, Soldiers are now authorized to travel by commercial
means in the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). The restriction of paragraph 3-7c
of AR 670-1 is lifted and this update will be included in the next revision.

Please insure this note is pushed to your commanders and disseminated to the
lowest levels.

"c. Personnel on official travel and traveling by commercial travel means
will wear the service uniform or appropriate civilian attire. Soldiers may
wear the combat uniform on commercial flights only when
deploying/redeploying or on rest and recuperation leave to and from the
combat theater. However, commanders may authorize service or utility
uniforms for Soldiers when traveling by commercial travel for emergency
leave or casualty assistance duties."

POC for this matter is Army Uniform Policy at
[login to see] .

v/r,
Allen D. Clifton
HQDA DCS G1 SGM

Sir,

Thank you for this information. We have a soldier currently attending from Colorado to North Carolina. She will be happy to hear this.

Sigh... One step forward, followed immediately by hopping backwards...

One less thing to pack I guess. Funny we just had a topic about someone traveling in uniform.

COL Private RallyPoint Member even though it was in the reg, I don't think it was something fully employed. When I graduated from AIT the reg was recently updated and I was saying to my peers that we were not allowed to fly in ACU's, the PSG's said that they can so I didn't say anything more. I flew in civilians as I thought it was the correct thing to do.
