U.S Army Reintroduces Army Green Service Uniforms

[@gobbiner]

Being a Brit, I've got to say the US WW2 service dress uniform was the smartest looking uniform the US army ever had. Good to see it returning.

Hopefully I’ll be getting it soon, I’m going to basic training in 2 days

I'm a Marine....Always hated the Army's service uniform....But this Service uniform is by far the most handsome uniform they introduced or should it be said re-introduced back in service, why were they ever done away with is beyond me. Congrats Army, someone truly is making a difference for you folks.

[@11bsavage64]

I agree like the Marine dress blues have been around forever but why the Army do away with this uniform. Personally love the timeless look.

[@ditzydoo4378]

Too many higher ups trying to out do the Air Force during and after Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Thankfully the Army has final come around and reclaimed it's heritage.

[@LaneCorbett]

The Navy's Dress uniform has been eather White or Dark blue as long as I remember

Rah, they need to keep it how it is now.

Dang it .I wish they would've had them when I was on active duty. The uniform is super sharp looking with that WW2 look.

[@mdburns]

As a former soldier, I like them. Hopefully the ARMY will stick with them for a while. It seems the ARMY has always been trying to find something new rather than creating an identity. It’s fine to upgrade utility uniforms and equipment but the Class A uniform is what identifies your service.

[@chrisriley8755]

Stick with the excellent Uniform no Berets Eithier

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

As a WW2 living historian I can tell you it's a great uniform. It's versatile and can be mixed. The Pinks&Greens had a chocolate shirt and a tan shirt. There were a tan or green tie. Their was the regular jacket and the so-called "Ike jacket" and the B-13 jacket that was similar to the "Ike". All the different combinations were wonderful, it was uniform with a touch of flair. We wear both good reproductions and original uniforms including original shoes.

[@DaBarbs]

I am a traditionalist and love these uniforms. The Marine Corps has never changed their style because of tradition. I wish I could re enlist.

[@commiesnzombies]

the happiest day of my life is when i turned in all my equipment and sh!t and got released from that 5 year prison enlistment, FTA

[@x11baker]

During WWII officers wore dark jacket and tan pants, enlisted men wore dark jacket and dark pants. As my dad said, you could easily recognize who to salute, and/or avoid.

They definitely look cool and sharp, and give that nod to history which is priceless. It's a sweet uniform, no lie. I can already hear the Glenn Miller playing.

[@fmayer1507]

Finally, this was a great uniform and it is good to see it again! The material is better and it is great to see the Army went first class on this. It is well worth the cost. We made much less in the 70's and you had to get several different types of uniforms and it was even worse for female soldiers. We wound up spending much more in real terms when you considered our pay. Many of us got some of our uniforms from the Thrift Shop so that we would not have to dig so far into our pockets and the clothing allowance never covered all the expenses. The Army Uniform that followed the Pink and Greens was bad and that is what I had when I first came in. My relatives who served in World War II (my uncles and step father) looked so much sharper than we did in the 70's. The the changes after that until now went from bad to worse. "The Blues" belong back in a formal setting and that change back to tradition is really welcome news. As a retiree, I am so happy to see our young soldiers and officers back in a uniform that makes them look sharp. It really improves Our Army's appearance to me. What a fantastic improvement. Army Strong!

[@kennethquesenberry2610]

My father served in WWII and never wore "pinks & greens." Those were for the officers. He was an enlisted man and wore OD, plus khaki in the summer time.

And get this. Uncle Sugar paid for it all! Everything changed right after I left the service. Goodbye Steel Pot. Good bye old M-16. and 1911. Oh1 and yeah. The base Ball Hat.

[@ditzydoo4378]

As a 25 year US Army NCO retiree, I an happy to see the US Army return to it's "Military" roots with the Pinks & Greens. It represents a proper Service Uniform. Not the wanna be business suits I wore after 1979, which never looked right. The only exception are my Dress Blues, which are back to being a Special dress uniform as it was intended to be. The Army got off course in years past following the Air Forces idea of a uniform, but should have stayed with the Traditional uniform as the Navy and Marine Corp had. I am glad to see a return to what was best and traditional.

[@hectorching5405]

They look great, very similar to the USMC service A/B/C uniform which we never stopped wearing. Glad the Army came back around. Actually with the brown shoes and khaki trousers, I like them more than my old USMC service dress.

[@ivankostamo9698]

I may be Canadian, but I am liking this change. I kind of want my country to go back to Pattern 49 Battledress, Navy jumpers and bell-bottom trousers, and Air Force service dress. Looks sharp, distinct, warm, and was practical, and I still think it could be today. We shall see. Tradition pulls out history and pride in troops, and that regimental pride is one of the most essential bits to effective teamwork.

[@aztecwarrior1421]

I love the belt. I wish we had them when I was in.

[@fjtalleyauthor2242]

Sorry to go against the prevailing opinion here, but I much prefer the blue uniform over this one. It looked crisper to me and more professional. The best to all who are serving now, and my thanks!

[@mooppymcd]

The current ASU is more historical. Reminds me of the civil war uniform.

[@testpleaseignore]

I'm curious, if you are let's say something like airborne, are you going to have the exception where you have your pants bloused into your jump boots? Will there be a brown version of said boots? What about units such as airborne, rangers, special forces which use berets? I'm just kind of low-key curious about how some of the units that have uniform exemptions will function

[@morganjohnson539]

Dad served in the Army in Vietnam. I've always loved the Army green even as an ROTC cadet. Ultimately I ended up enlisting in the Navy, just in time for the switch back to the iconic crackerjack uniform. Can't say I liked wearing that but there was no mistaking a Navy man for the Good Humor ice cream man afterwards. It is nice to see the Army take a look back to it's better days. Such a great looking uniform.

[@TheJimprez]

The wedge is a nicer cap... BUT the visored one looks like a Banana Republic Generalissimo hat. WAY too high in front...

[@combatvolta]

What a better honor to the history of this amazing country

[@gobanito]

In the 1940s the Army had more uniforms. The new AGSUs are patterned only on the winter service uniform. Then in addition to that there was a summer version which was the summer khaki service uniform. So if you wanted to stick to WWII tradition, you could have added a summer service uniform in addition to the winter service uniform. Then of course there was the "Ike" jacket and authorized only for "ETO" personnel. I noticed that with the new class B uniform, army personnel are wearing their neckties hanging, but in WWII when not wearing their service coat, those ties were tucked into their shirts according the regulations.

[@stephenantolich2155]

Very nice uniform. Just a question to the professionals. Is it allowed to wear boots with the new uniform, or only dress shoes?

[@armynurseboy]

brown dress shoes (or low pumps if you're female wearing a skirt). I'm sure the Airborne guys will revert to wearing the original brown jump boots with theirs.

[@davidmessina8108]

Interestingly, the WW II officers shown at 0:34 were Lt. Gen. Carl Spaatz, Lt. Gen Jimmy Doolittle, Maj. Gen William Kepner and Col. Donald Blakeslee of the 8th Air Force, US Army Air Forces. They would all go on the help form the USAF after WW II. They all finished their careers in blue.

[@timebaby3]

Little issue with the design of the new 'pinks and greens', while I get that the idea is to make army soldiers stand out and look "sharper", which there is no doubt that the WW2 era class-A uniforms were the best looking, the design of the new ones is based solely on that of the officers class-A and not the enlisted. It was only officers that wore the Pink &Green design, enlisted men wore the regular OD wool version as part of their service/field uniform. So, is the idea to make everyone in the army look like an officer?

[@jestioko8741]

Great uniform. Just dont understand why they decided to mimic the Marine Corps Piss cutter and not stick with the squared off one that can be tucked in when worn. Just like paratroopers would.
