Since my uniforms have phased out since my ETS, will I be issued new uniforms when I transfer from IRR to the Reserves?

Your new unit should issue you new uniforms.

Get with your unit admin or S1 and they should be able to issue you new TA50. You’ll probably have to use your uniform allowance to buy a few sets of ACUs since I’m sure you had the old pattern and not the OCPs.

Yes you can request new issue. You need to be assigned to the unit and provide the supply person your sizes. Units no longer maintain uniforms or ta 50 on hand so it will need to be ordered. Expect it to take about 30 days to arrive. (Not all unit supplies have access, they may have to forward the request to higher command.)
You’re not the only one in this situation. I had a SM come out of the IRR last year who trashed all his uniforms after active - I was able to order him 2 pairs of uniforms. He wore civilian attire until the uniforms arrived.
The regulation allows for reserves to de-ex or reissue uniforms every 4 years if unserviceable. There is no clothing allowance for regular TPU Soldiers. We use an online supply system called KYLOC.

My son was active and went reserves. He had OCPs and was still issued new uniforms.
