ASU PANTS

Part of the Army Service Uniform and Army Dress Uniform, the Army blue Trousers worn by Noncommissioned Officers (Corporal through Command Sergeant Major/Sergeant Major of the Army) and Commissioned Officers are low-waisted, straight-legged and do not have cuffs. The trousers come with side and hip pockets, with the left-hip pocket featuring a buttonhole tab and button for closure.

While the trousers are the same light-blue color as those worn by Junior Enlisted personnel (E-1 to E-3 and E-4 Specialist), they distinguished from them by the addition of a single one-and-a-half-inch wide that is sewn on each outside seam of each trouser leg. The light-blue color also distinguishes them from the trousers worn generals, whose pants are dark blue and have two half-inch braids spaced a half-inch apart sewn onto the outside seam of each trouser leg.
