The Directorate of Clothing and Textiles has been working around the clock in support of OEF/OIF.  Until further notice, The Clothesline will be published on a quarterly basis.  We hope to return to our monthly issues in the future.

BOOT, INFANTRY, COMBAT, TAN - The Army has transferred its requirements for Tan Flyers Boots (PGC 02702) to a new Tan version of the Infantry Combat Boot (PGC 02943).  The Army's new item design is currently virtually the same as the Tan Flyers Boot (waterproof bootie construction, 3-layer sole design).  However, Army informs us they intend to make changes to their Tan ICB design in the future.  Existing Army

backorders on the Tan Flyers Boot NSNs are being canceled and reinstated on the new

Tan ICB NSNs wherever possible (it is not possible to reinstate a partial requisition qty).  New requisitions from Army customers for the Tan Flyers Boot (PGC 02702) are being canceled automatically.  Army customers must now requisition the new NSNs under PGC 02943.

MARINE CORPS COATS, MEN’S AND WOMAN’S MC 2312 - ATTENTION MARINE CORPS PERSONNEL!!  New NSN’s have been introduced for the Men’s and Women’s

MC 2312 Dress  Blue Coates.  We have replaced the old brass buttons that become dull and dingy with bright and shine buttons (and they will stay that way forever).

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Substitutions of the new NSNs will be made as stock is exhausted on the old NSNs.

AIRCREW BATTLEDRESS UNIFORM (ABDU) - The Army has transferred its requirements for the ABDUs to a new Improved ABDU (IABDU).  The Army’s changes are functional improvements and configuration changes to meet PM-Air Warrior requirements.  It remains a two piece uniform consisting of a coat and trousers.  The coat is a “bush type” design with chest pockets and flaps with a combination utility/pencil pocket on left sleeve.  Slide fastener closures are used on the center front and pocket closures.  Adjustment tabs with hook and loop fastener tape are located at the waist, collar and wrists.  The trousers have two side hanging pockets, two cargo pockets, two lower pockets, a knife/utility pocket on the inner left thigh, an extended slide fastener fly and adjustment tab hook and loop fastener tape on the lower legs.  Except for the side hanging pockets, all pockets have slide fastener closures and flaps.

Army requisitions for the old Woodland ABDU are being cancelled automatically.  Army customers must now requisition for the new IABDU NSNs under the new PGC’s.

 

As for the Desert Tan, the Army should still requisition under the old ABDU PGC.  DSCP will substitute the new IABDU when stock becomes available.  Army requisitions will be cancelled automatically if received under the new PGC.  When all requisitions currently on backorder for the old ABDU are filled, action to accept requisitions on the new items will be established.  Estimated date is 31 Jul 04.

 

Mixing and matching of old and new uniform items is authorized.  However, only the new IABDU Coat will correctly interface with the Chemical Protective Undergarment and the Microclimatic Cooling Vest, which are part of the Air Warrior ensemble.
