CHAPTER III
PROCEDURES
1. Overview. This directive establishes the issue and replacement of two categories of enlisted
uniforms: The Class C (Field, Work) uniform to all enlisted personnel, and the Class A/B
(Type1/2) to enlisted personnel whose NYG responsibilities require wearing this uniform.
a. The initiation of enlisted uniform issue is at the lowest subordinate unit level, where the
capability to maintain clothing records resides.
2. Class C: All enlisted personnel shall be issued two (2) Class C uniforms and accessories, as
their basic issue.
a. All new enlistee packages shall include, as part of their recruiting package, a uniform
request form.
b. New enlistees shall receive their uniform issue after attending three (3) consecutive drills.
If an enlistee misses any of the three assemblies, the uniform issuance will not occur until three
consecutive assemblies are attended.
c. Uniform detail shall be processed via the “Enlisted Field Uniform Request” (Appendix
A).
3. Class A/B (Type 1/2): Enlisted personnel participating in approved volunteer status for
Honor Guards, Burial Details, and Color Guards, and other missions requiring a dress uniform,
will also receive one (1) Class A/B (Type 1/2) uniform with accessories, as standard issue.
Based on the recommendation of the Commander, enlisted personnel participating in other
volunteer activities, such as Public Affairs and Civil Military Affairs requirements, may also be
issued a Class A/B (Type 1/2) uniform. Uniform detail shall be processed via the “Enlisted Dress
Uniform Request” (Appendix B).
a. Enlisted uniform items that are unserviceable may, as needed, be replaced. Unseriveable,
in this contest, would imply that the condition of the uniform, if worn, would reflect negatively
on the wearer, and thus on the New York Guard. Unserviceable in this context implies a
condition that cannot be rectified by normal expedients such as washing, simple sewing, or
tailoring.
