Dress Policy for Attached Personnel It is important that Regimental identity is both protected and respected when members of the Regiment are on detached duty. Dress Policy, which should aim to incur minimum cost, for attached personnel is as follows:
Individuals On attachment to the Regiment from the wider Army (nonKing’s Division origin) PS12(A) direct that when wearing Combat 95, individuals are to retain and wear the beret, capbadge and TRF of their original Corps/Regiment. Stable belts and rank slides of origin are discretionary and when on operations the TRF of the receiving battalion is to be worn. For all other forms of dress, they are to retain and wear the full dress of Corps/Regimental origin.
Commanding Officers and RSMs Those COs and RSMs who transfer into a different Regiment on appointment are expected to wear all items of approved dress according to the Regiment to which they are newly appointed. A grant from RHQ to assist RSMs who are assigned to a new Regiment with the purchase of Mess Dress and other necessary accoutrements is supported by the Colonel Commandant King’s Division, but any decision is a matter for the Regimental Board and Trustees. RSMs will be expected to return to wearing the Mess Dress of Regimental origin on commissioning.
Formed Cohorts Attached Sections, Platoons or Companies are to retain and wear their original Regimental dress complete, less TRFs when on operations. Only the TRF of the battalion they are currently deployed with is to be worn.
Individuals Assigned to another King’s Division Battalion When wearing PCS-CU Officers, SNCOs and ORs are to retain and wear the capbadge and stable belt of the Regiment. They are to be issued with and wear the TRF, rank slide and beret (less capbadge) of the Regiment to which they are attached. For all other forms of dress including No.1, No. 2 and Mess Dress and all associated regimentally approved accoutrements (buttons, 108
