Headline: U.S. Army Announces New Grooming and Appearance Standards

Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: A female Soldier poses for an example photo with natural-colored highlights and wearing stud earrings in her Army Combat Uniform to illustrate an upcoming change to Army grooming and appearance standards. Female Soldiers will soon be authorized to wear earrings in their ACU if it meets the current size and dimensions standards. Individuals will not be allowed to wear earrings in a field environment or during a combat-related deployment, or in locations where access to regular hygiene is limited. ... STORY CAPTION: New changes to U.S. Army grooming and appearance standards are slated to take effect next month (in Feb 2021), as part of the Army’s commitment to improve the wellbeing of all Soldiers. Army senior leaders approved several upcoming grooming and appearance modifications, said Sgt. Maj. Brian Sanders, senior enlisted leader of Army G-1’s uniform policy branch. The announcement will be followed by an all-Army activities message that will take effect late February and will supersede the standards outlined in the grooming and appearance chapter of Army Regulation 670-1 until the next scheduled revision. "This is one of the many facets of putting our people first and recognizing who they are as human beings," he said. "Their identity and diverse backgrounds are what makes the Army an ultimate fighting force."
