The Blue Army Service Uniform

Army Leadership has announced wear instructions and bridging strategy for the blue Army Service Uniform.

These instructions support the decision to consolidate Army dress uniforms as part of a streamlining process that began in 2004 with the Army Combat Uniform. The consolidation has been successful in terms of Soldier acceptance and in reducing the type of uniforms Soldiers must maintain in their clothing inventory. The blue ASU eliminates the need for multiple Class A type uniforms. Streamlining our Class A style uniforms into one ASU reduces the number of uniforms a Soldier must maintain. The Army will phase out the green uniform and replace it with the blue ASU. The National blue color of our ASU reflects utility, simplicity, cost-savings and a timeless tradition with roots tracing to the Continental Army of 1700s.
