Responsibilities of soldiers purchasing uniforms, uniform items, and heraldic items a. Soldiers purchasing uniforms, uniform items, or heraldic items from establishments other than the AMCSS must ensure that the items are authorized for wear and that they conform to appropriate military specifications or are manufactured in accordance with the UQCP or the heraldic quality control system. When items appear deficient, soldiers should submit a SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report) through their servicing MCSS, where forms are available. Commercially purchased items that are authorized for wear in lieu of military-issue items must conform to the basic specification of the military-issue item, unless otherwise specified in this regulation. (1) All Army uniforms, uniform items, and heraldic items procured by the Defense Logistics Agency and sold in the AMCSS are procured in accordance with appropriate military specifications and are authorized for wear. However, in those MCSS with multi-service support agreements, some items are sold that are authorized for wear by members of other services, but not by Army personnel. Soldiers are responsible for verifying with their chain of command which items are authorized for wear by Army personnel. Uniform items with defects in workmanship or material should be returned to the AMCSS for replacement or repair. (2) Optional uniforms and other uniform clothing items sold in the MCSS, in post exchanges, or by commercial sources will contain a label, stamp, or certificate issued by the textile technology team at the Natick Soldier Center. Components of some optional uniforms, such as men’s commercial white shirts, studs, and cuff links, are not included in the UQCP. (3) All heraldic items purchased from a post exchange, AMCSS, or commercial source will contain a hallmark or label certifying that the item was produced in accordance with the appropriate military specification by a manufacturer certified by TIOH, U.S. Army. (4) All individuals purchasing uniform or insignia items from commercial sources must take care to ensure that the items conform to the requirements in 2–7a(1–3), above. b. All enlisted personnel will do the following: (1) Maintain their clothing bag items and any supplemental clothing items they are issued, as prescribed in AR 700–84 or CTA 50–900. 12 AR 670–1 3 February 2005
(2) Ensure that their uniforms and insignia conform with this regulation. c. All officers will procure and maintain the uniforms and accessories appropriate to their assigned duties. Appendix C lists the minimum quantities of uniforms and other items normally prescribed by commanders for officers. (Note exceptions for officers on extended active duty for less than 6 months.) Officers are responsible for ensuring that their uniforms and insignia conform to specifications in this regulation. 2–8. Operation of the Uniform Quality Control Program a. The program executive officer (Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier) and project manager (Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment), in conjunction with the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), will oversee UQCP operations and will execute the following tasks: (1) Prepare and maintain military specifications, purchase descriptions, and master patterns for optional uniform items, as prescribed by the Army Uniform Board and approved by the Chief of Staff, Army. (2) Publish and disseminate periodic bulletins to industry that provide guidance and information regarding changes in military specifications, testing and certification requirements, uniform regulations, or adoption of new optional uniform items. (3) Furnish specifications, purchase descriptions, master patterns, shade standards, and other information about optional uniforms to industry when required. (4) Receive and examine laboratory test reports, manufacturer certifications, and samples from commercial manufacturers, custom tailors, military tailors, and other suppliers of optional uniform items, as required. Require manufacturers to provide requested laboratory test reports, manufacturer certifications, and samples of optional uniform items at no cost to the Army. (5) Issue certificates of authority to manufacturers whose samples meet or exceed standards established by specifications of purchase descriptions. Certificates will be supplemented by documents showing the specific optional uniform items that the manufacturer is authorized to produce. Provide a list of certified manufacturers and products that will be furnished to the AAFES and included on appropriate Army Web sites. Revoke or suspend certificates when the certificate holder has violated any of the expressed conditions under which the certification was granted, as determined by PEO Soldier. (6) Conduct inspections and otherwise monitor manufacturers for compliance with certificate terms and conditions. Review optional uniform items to verify compliance with, or appropriate exemption/waiver from, applicable domestic source requirements as set forth in 10 USC 2533a. b. The UQCP will be monitored overseas as follows: OCONUS Army service component command (ASCC) will establish a service POC who will inturn direct local textile and uniform producers desiring to sell optional uniform items to Soldiers within the theater to PEO Soldier, project manager (Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment), or to NSRDEC for follow-on coordination. c. Manufacturers and suppliers of optional uniform items will— (1) Obtain certification required under the UQCP from NSRDEC or project manager (Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment) before manufacturing any optional uniform items for sale. (2) Affix a label with the following information certifying the optional uniform items were manufactured in accordance with the UQCP prior to offering the items for sale: This garment is warranted to meet or exceed the standards of specification number . . . and was produced under certificate number . . . from basic material warranted by the manufacturer as having been produced in accordance with the sample under current certification. This item is not authorized for turn-in to central issue facilities. (3) Familiarize themselves with Army specifications, purchase descriptions, testing/certification requirements, shade standards, and other pertinent information for optional uniform items, and submit required samples and information to NSRDEC or project manager (Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment) for approval. (4) Comply with all terms of the certification. Certificates may be revoked or suspended if the certificate holder has violated any of the expressed conditions of the certification.
