When are Soldiers authorized to wear sunglasses containing logos or lens colors not authorized?

• A. Soldiers are authorized to wear ballistic spectacle eye protection issued by the Army.
• B. They can wear any sunglasses at any time.
• C. Only during non-duty hours.
• D. Only during ceremonies.

Answer: (A)

Sunglasses with logos or nonstandard lens colors aren’t allowed with the Army uniform unless they’re official protective gear. The Army authorizes this specific exception: ballistic spectacle eye protection issued by the Army. This issued eyewear is approved for wear with the uniform and is designed to meet safety standards, so its logos or tinted lenses don’t violate the policy when it’s the issued protective equipment. Outside of that issued protective eyewear, nonstandard sunglasses aren’t authorized at any time, including during non-duty hours or ceremonies.
