Online survey seeks Soldiers' experiences with new Army Service Uniform Published Sept. 12, 2012 By TRADOC Public Affairs U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command FORT EUSTIS, Va. -- Soldiers will soon have the opportunity to share their experiences with the new Army Service Uniform (ASU) with Product Manager Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment (PM SCIE). An online survey will be posted Sept. 17, and will run until Oct. 9. The Soldier feedback will be used to assess the performance of the uniform and to make improvements. "The more Soldiers who take the survey, the better informed we will be when we improve the ASU," said Assistant Product Manager Capt. Mia Bruner. "Soldiers have two years of experience with the ASU, and their opinions will be valuable." The blue ASU was adopted to reduce the burden Soldiers faced in maintaining a variety of different uniforms. It has been in use since autumn of 2010. The new ASU, based on the Army's dress blue uniform, replaced the Army green, and Army white uniforms. The new survey will ask questions about how often Soldiers wear the ASU, for what purposes, and how they might want to change particular parts of the uniform. Questions cover everything from braid on trousers to the preferred type and placement of the Combat Service Identification Badge. It also covers the fit and cut of trousers, blouses, and skirts. The information, said Bruner, will be used to improve, not replace, the ASU. "Uniforms are part of Army life," said Bruner. "I encourage Soldiers to take the time to register their likes, dislikes, and suggestions. Soldiers can access and fill in the survey form locations with or without [Common Access Cards]."
