Who is exempt from policies in AR 670-1?

• A. Only Those Units designated for ceremonial duties
• B. All units
• C. New recruits
• D. Civilian contractors

Answer: (A)

AR 670-1 governs how the Army uniform is worn and how soldiers should appear, but it recognizes that some exceptions are necessary. The only groups that access exemptions are units officially designated to perform ceremonial duties. This allows those ceremonial units to adapt dress elements to support traditions and the ceremonial context, while the standard appearance rules remain in effect for everyone else. In other words, exemptions aren’t granted broadly; they’re limited to specific ceremonial units. New recruits, other units, or civilian contractors aren’t automatically exempt from the general AR 670-1 guidelines.
