This is about the Class A/ B Army Green Uniform

About
The Class A Army Green dress uniform is a dress uniform worn by members of the US Army; with the coat removed it is known as the Class B uniform. It is being slowly phased out in the Army, replaced by the Army Blue Service Uniform. The Class B is worn by Carver cadets every Wednsday for Inspection and for a grade. Cadets wear the Class A coat on special occasions such as the Military Ball, and sometimes on Fridays for Dress to Impress. The Class B is worn with or without a black necktie issued with it. The tie is worn if the Class A is worn over the Class B. If the Class A is worn over a white dress shirt for something like the Military Ball, then a black bowtie is worn.
