I am looking for the regulation that covers the wear of working gloves with the new and old ACUs.

I actually think this is a great question! I would much rather see a proactive Soldier asking a question like this rather than having to stop ten times on the way into the PX to fix stupid! SFC Brian Johnston is correct. I would also look at you installation homepage to see if there is a supplemental policy guidance.
IE. Fort Leonard Wood has Command Policy 18. It identifies that the "fleece cap" is designated as the primary headgear throughout FLW from the end of daylight saving to the beginning of daylight saving time. (with extended wear date set as 31 MAR) The caveat to this is that in order to wear the "fleece cap" It must be worn with cold weather gear (for example, fleece/field/or gortex jacket AND GLOVES). It goes further to say that the "fleece cap" will not be worn off the installation.
Ask your leadership about what the SOP or local policy is.

Talk about major help with details. This was an phenomenal post. I was curious if you could only wear your black gloves with your fleece jacket. Then again, it is also up to the commanders discretion. Thanks for your post.

MAJ Javier Rivera
CPL (Join to see) So I guess if a Soldier, junior to me, ask me a general question I shouldn't answer but send him/her to someone within his/her chain of command? Don't think so!
