14-3. Occasions for wear

a. All-purpose wear. The class A and dress AGSU are authorized for wear on and off duty, on and off the instal-

lation, unless restricted by the commander. The Class A and dress uniform is not intended for wear as an all-purpose uniform when other uniforms are more appropriate.

b. Approved wear. The AGSU is prescribed for year-round wear for all Soldiers, unless otherwise directed by the

commander. Soldiers may wear variations of the AGSU:

(1) On duty when prescribed by the local commander.

(2) At social functions of a private or official nature, either before or after retreat, and while in transit to and from

such functions. The AGSU is normally considered appropriate for social or official functions off the installation, such as memorial services, funerals, weddings, inaugurals, patriotic ceremonies, and similar functions.

(3) When designated by the host of an event.

(4) On other appropriate occasions, as desired by the individual.

(5) Soldiers may wear the AGSU for commercial travel per paragraphs 3–7b through 3–7c.

c. Restrictions on wear.

(1) Personnel may not wear the AGSU in off-post establishments that primarily sell alcohol for consumption on

the premises. If the off-post establishment sells alcohol and food for consumption on the premises, Soldiers may not wear the AGSU if their activities in the establishment center on drinking alcohol.

(2) Commanders may further restrict wear of the AGSU per paragraphs 2–6, 2–7a, and 2–7b.
