What is the Army uniform for male Soldiers that are taped in accordance with AR 600-9?
Clarification of this issue has been revised in the update AR 600-9, dated September 2006. The current text guidance and illustrations in Appendix B and Figures B-7 and B-8 provide clear guidance on taping procedures and uniform. Appendix B, B-1c states that the tape will be applied so that it makes contact with the skin and conforms to the body surface being measured. It additionally states that in the hip circumference more firm pressure is needed to compress gym shorts. Figure B-7, Male measurements, shows the male abdomen circumference being measured with the T-shirt on.
