I think the Army recently introduced the ASU "Dress Blues" and that dress blues are NOT for just formal events, they are for office visits or a business situation and yes, going to testify before congress or in court as examples... daytime business actions, they wear their ribbons and not medals on their chest, for formal occasions in the evening, they wear a black bow tie instead of a regular straight black tie and they wear their medals on their chest daytime or evening, instead of their ribbons....Sure seems pretty common to me...
Those are dress greens. Unit patches are not worn on the shoulders of blues.
.
I think the Col. wore the proper attire... according to their rules on wearing the blues...
And that alters what I said, HOW? I you'll note the unit insignia is worn on the right breast pocket, not the shoulders, which is a new thing since I retired from the Army in 2000. Petraeus was wearing dress greens in the photo I was talking about.
