How are Soldiers authorized to store their headgear in the Class C uniform?

• A. In cargo pockets or small of the back, hidden from view and not bulky.
• B. In outer coat pocket with no restrictions.
• C. Carried in hand for quick use.
• D. Attached to belt with clip.

Answer: (A)

Storing headgear so the uniform maintains a neat, professional silhouette and isn’t bulging or obviously visible is required. When not worn, the headgear should be kept out of sight and kept from creating bulk. The most appropriate place is in the cargo pockets or in the small of the back, where it remains hidden and non-bulky, preserving the clean lines of the Class C uniform and reducing the risk of damage or loss.

The other options would either expose the headgear, create noticeable bulk, or clutter the outfit—situations the regulation aims to avoid.
