Trainees at Fort Jackson, SC – the Army’s largest basic training base – have been among the first recruits to receive the throwback uniforms. That included the 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment’s trainees who were fitted for the AGSU in October.
“We got it right this time,” Fort Jackson Command Sgt. Maj. Philson Tavernier said via a statement to The Post and Courier newspaper. “The AGSU is distinctive and epitomizes the United States Army. This is my third dress uniform, and I would say they are the most practical and best-looking. It is an iconic uniform that brings us back to our roots.”
The uniform was dubbed “pink and greens” by service members in 1940s as the pair of pants often had a pink hue. The new uniform consists of a green jacket, khaki (not actually pink) pants, a khaki dress shirt and brown oxford shoes. In addition, soldiers are now supplied matching socks, a tie and garrison cap, the flat and straight-sided foldable hat.
Army recruiters and drill sergeants had been among the very first soldiers to receive the uniforms in late 2020, as they were typically considered the face of the Army. Fort Sill, OK, had been the very first training location to issue the AGSU, followed by Fort Leonard Wood, MO, and then Fort Benning, GA.
