Headwear

Uniform hats for formal military dress and service wear the headwear component of Class A and dress uniforms that signal rank, branch, and service during inspections, ceremonies, and formal duty assignments. Where a patrol cap is the everyday field standard, the uniform hat is the formal standard, and the appearance requirements are uncompromising.
