Army May Stop Issuing Dress Uniforms to Recruits in Basic Training

The U.S. Army is considering issuing the new Army Greens uniform to new soldiers when they go to their first unit, instead of following the tradition of issuing the dress uniform at the beginning of Basic Combat Training. The service intends to begin issuing the Army Greens — a version of the World War II pinks and greens — in summer 2020, but it may wait until after Initial Entry Training is over to avoid giving new uniforms to soldiers who don't complete training.
