Clothing and Individual Equipment Approval Processes Army Uniform Board (AUB) The Army Uniform Board (AUB) is the primary review forum for clothing bag, mess, dress, service, and optional purchase uniform items. The AUB resolves issues, provides and obtains guidance, ensures that items fit the 5 th to the 95 percentile, and makes recommendations to the CSA. The CSA approves the initiation of concept development and adoption of these items. The AUB will— (a) Conduct milestone reviews on new or improved items and make recommendations to the CSA (Milestone Decision Authority) for decision. (b) Review policies pertaining to the wear of new or improved clothing items. - AR 70 -1 (Army Acquisition Policy) Clothing Bag, Dress Clothing and Optional Clothing Results of the AUB are presented to the CSA approval at each milestone. CSA Organizational Clothing And Individual Equipment (OCIE) ASA (ALT) AUB PEO-Soldier presents milestone reviews to the AUB. New concepts and product improvements are presented to the AUB for concept approval, POM validation and for type classification approval. TRADOC establishes clothing requirements. Those requiring a materiel solution are provided to PEO-Soldier. - Product improvements are identified to PEO Soldier from NSRDEC, TRADOC schools, Soldier feedback, etc. PEO Soldier TRADOC Requirement • Service Uniforms & Accessories • ACUs & Accessories PEO Soldier TRADOC Requirement • FR ACU • Environmental Clothing • MOLLE • Body Armor
