MUFFLER

Justification to deviate from a Standard Army uniform item with an NSN

1.

The requirement for this scarf is primarily for wear with the Cadet Black Parka. It is used as a dress item and not for field or tactical use. The Army black scarf is a knit scarf. It gives an informal and field wear appearance when worn with the Black Parka which is made from a similar fabric/material. The scarf procured from this specification also compliments the authorized Cadet Casual wear items as well so can be used as dual purpose.

2. The Army system does not have a scarf with this type of material.

3. This material offers a softer less abrasive wear than the knit material of the Army Scarf 4. The USCC Cadet uniform regulation and policies mandate this style of scarf and IAW with the USMA regulation the Academy Superintendent has the authority to prescribe the uniforms worn by the Corps of Cadets.
