PURPOSE: To establish a professional and unified standard for the uniform, appearance, and grooming of all active Naval personnel.

MILITARY IMAGE: Appearance in uniform is a key element for how the public perceives the men and women of the United States Navy, and how the Sailors honor their country and the service. Naval personnel are responsible for maintaining their personal appearance and their uniforms to reflect the long and proud history and traditions of the United States Navy. Commands and personnel in leadership positions at every level are responsible to promote and enforce high standards for uniform appearance. Naval personnel must maintain proper military decorum and present themselves with pride.

NOTE: All active Naval personnel must follow all uniform regulations before entering the headquarters. When in headquarters, when visiting allies, and when viewing or participating in any USN-related or ally-related events unless otherwise stated by upper HQDN. Regardless of where Naval personnel are, all personnel must conduct themselves as if in headquarters.
