“As an outer garment”
A top Army official overseeing uniform rules squashed any of that confusion back in January.
“It’s an outer garment,” Sgt. Maj. Ashleigh Sykes, the top enlisted leader for uniform policy said on Twitter in January. “There is hook and loop for name tapes, rank, and US Army to make that obvious.”
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Grinston, the service’s top enlisted leader, endorsed the message. “That settles that,” he tweeted.
