These uniforms are issued for wear as utility field training uniforms and are not
intended as all-purpose uniforms when other uniforms are more appropriate.

No tactical uniform is to be worn off campus in the town of Marion for any reason
unless directed by the PMS or the Commandant of Cadets. Cadets participating in the
National Guard or Reserves may wear their tactical uniforms when traveling to and
from drill assemblies. In this circumstance a cadet may make a quick fuel or food
stop but the stop should generally last less than 15 minutes.

Cadets enrolled in a service program: Army ECP, Marine Corps PLC, Air Force
Academy/ROTC, Naval Academy/ROTC, and Coast Guard/Merchant Marine SAP
may wear the uniform of their branch of service as prescribed by the Commandant of
Cadets. Any cadet wearing a tactical uniform other than ACUs will wear the uniform
according to service regulations.

Tactical Uniform (ACU or service equivalent) sleeves will not be rolled up at any
time unless directed to do so by staff or faculty for the accomplishment of a specific
task. Once the task is completed, sleeves will be immediately rolled down. This
policy has been approved by all service components.

f. Modified ACU. The uniform consists of the ACU trousers and company tee-shirts.
It is authorized for special purposes as directed by the Commandant of Cadets.

g. Athletic. Athletic teams with changing areas and lockers will wear a complete cadet
uniform or designated team practice uniform to and from the changing facility.
Teams without locker facilities (i.e., tennis, baseball, and softball) will wear
appropriate practice clothing directly to and from the practice fields. Teams will wear
an approved travel uniform to and from games. The Athletic Director will designate
the uniform with concurrence from the Commandant of Cadets. Cadet trainers,
managers, and statisticians will also travel in the same uniform. Civilian attire will
not be worn to and from athletic events without the expressed approval of the
Commandant of Cadets.

Drill Team may be authorized by the Commandant of Cadets to wear unique
variations of uniforms. Unique uniform articles and approved wear will be outlined
in organizational charters.
