I'm going through my Multicam now that it is authorized for wear. I came across the army combat shirt and curious if it is authorized in any way for wear add well?

Yes, if you're in theater... and on operations.

I wore my ACU patrol shirt on field problems at Fort Bliss and I know several other Soldiers that wear them in the field on other installations. I believe it's the commanders call on whether you can wear them or not during field exercises.

That is something that mission dependent. But either way you should only use in a tactical environment.

As far I know it is authorize only in the work place while working outside or when it is hot, but the minute you leave the work site, you must put on the rest of the uniform. It is the same rule as wearing a T-shirt.
