Australian Army Standard Order of Dress (ASODs) Regulations
Dear Defence FOI,
I am interested in the Australian Army Standard Order of Dress (Manual or Regulations relating to Australian Army Uniforms). This document was commonly known as ASODs, and was the Official Army Document or Pamphlet, also known as a "PAM", and used before the One Defence Policy, came into effect, which was trying to ensure all three services worked more efficiently and together with similar doctrine, policy and procedure, which I believe was brought in or around 2013.
Under the Defence FOI Act, I am seeking the Army Standard Order of Dress (ASODs) Manual or Regulations prior to 2013, before the Army changed the name of what is now called the Army Dress Manual (Which can now be found via here - https://www.army.gov.au/community/member...
I look forward to Defence FOI, and the Australian Army providing this soon,
Yours faithfully,
Fred
