Historical Note

Uniforms of the U.S. Navy have always been of great importance to Navy men since the earliest days of the service. The uniform of a man or woman wears represents the pride, distinction, discipline, and power of the Navy and the nation. Thus uniforms have always been a matter of concern to the Navy. A Navy Uniform Office was established in 1779 by Congress to address all matters on clothing. Over the years, however, uniforms have gone through many changes and little “uniformity” was attainable.1 With the growth of the Navy after World War I and the increasing status of the nation as a world power, more emphasis needed to be place upon the appearance of Navy men and the quality of their uniforms.

As a result, the Secretary of the Navy established a Permanent Navy Uniform Board on 6 August 1936.2 The Board was to “make a study of and consider such questions as may be referred to it concerning uniforms for officers and enlisted personnel in the United States Navy” and, advise the Department in these matters. The senior member of t he Board was a Captain in the Navy. Other members included a Commander in the Medical Corps, a Commander and Lieutenant Commander in the Supply Corps, and a Lieutenant Command and Lieutenant as additional members. One of the latter two was chosen as recorder for the Board.

The Board was to meet at such times as may be directed by the senior member. Any recommendations made by the Board would go through the General Board, then the Chief of Naval Operations, and finally to be approved or disapproved by the Secretary of the Navy. Both the General Board and the CNO had the ability to conduct their own studies on Uniform Board recommendations if they wished. The Uniform Board’s administrative support came from the Bureau of Personnel.

On June 15, 1943, the Permanent Naval Uniform Board was established which combined the functions of the old Board with those of the Board on Special and Protective Clothing and Personal Equipment.3 This Board consisted of a president from the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and members from the Material Bureaus. Their contact with uniform and clothing problems in their daily duties gave them the expertise to make decisions on uniform matters. The Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, rather than Bureau of Personnel, now served as the cognizant technical Bureau, providing funds and acting as a serviced agency to the Board.

The Board proved effective for the remaining years of the war. However, at the war’s end, its experienced members were replaced by people less familiar with uniform affairs. The situation became even more difficult when on July 29, 1946 a new Board was formed responsible to both the Chief of Naval Personnel and the Chief of Naval Operations thus creating a dual chain of command. Due to the lack of experienced members and the dual chain of command, imposed by the new precept, the Board became largely ineffective.4

On November 18, 1948 the Chief of Naval Personnel proposed the formation of a Navy Department Uniform Policy Board to resolve conflicts between the Uniform Board and advisory groups such as the General Board. This new board would function over the Uniform Board and be made up of senior officers who could speak authoritatively for the Navy Department.5 This, he felt, would decrease the uncertainty experienced among officers and enlisted personnel, which was due to mixed reports coming from both the personnel, which was due to mixed reports coming from both the General Board and Uniform Board on certain issues.

Shortly thereafter, the General Board proposed to change membership of the Uniform Board. The idea was to insert seniority into the Uniform Board itself rather then superimpose a policy board over the Uniform Board. The Secretary of the Navy favored the General Board’s proposal over that of the Chief of Naval Personnel and on October 24, 1949 he established the Permanent Naval Uniform Board.6 The Chief of Naval Personnel would serve as president while members would include the Chiefs of the Bureaus of Aeronautics, Ships, Yards and Docks, Supplies and Accounts, and Medicine and surgery. Other members were the Assistant Chief of Naval Operations (Personnel Division), and the Secretary, Arctic and Cold Weather Coordinating Committee.

In addition to providing seniority for the Board, the Secretary of the Navy made several other directives. First, a permanent staff was formed to handle routine matters for the Board. Members of this staff included: a secretary, a Captain or Commander; a recorder, a Lieutenant or Lieutenant (junior grade), Supply Corps; and a clerk-stenographer. These members were designated by the Chief of Naval Personnel.

Second, the Board was to meet at least quarterly.

Finally, the exact responsibilities of the Board were promulgated to facilitate its effectiveness. The Secretary of the Navy ordered the Board to:

a. conduct a continuing study of uniforms and special and protective clothing.

b. Consider all suggested change to Uniform Regulations.

c. Review service suggestions for new or changes in standard items of uniform and clothing.

d. Maintain close contact at all times with Army and Air Force in all matters concerning uniforms and special clothing.

e. Study the preparation of general specifications concerning design and materials of uniforms and clothing.

f. Establish uniform and special and protective clothing allowances as may be necessary.

g. Analyze the methods of procedures for procurement and issue of clothing for the naval service.

h. Submit recommendations on the various subjects prescribed in paragraphs (a) to (g), via the Chief of Naval Operations, to the Secretary of the Navy for approval.

It is also important to note that these functions basically are the same functions of the present day Board.

No major changes were made to the Board for nearly twenty years. On June 23, 1967, the Secretary of the Navy delegated the authority for convening a Navy Uniform Board and approving Navy uniforms to the Chief of Naval Operations. Four years later, on July 30, 1971 the membership of both the Board and the permanent staff was reorganized. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that enlisted personnel were given membership as regular members of the Board. The make-up of the Board was as follows:

Regular members

Chief of Naval Personnel (President)

Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command

Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel for Human Goals

One male and one female junior officer representative

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

One male and one female enlisted representative

Permanent Staff

Secretary of the Board

Recorder of the Board

Executive Assistant

Administrative Assistant

In addition, the Board’s official title became, as it is today, the Navy Uniform Board.9

Just six years later the composition of the Navy Uniform Board underwent a major transformation and expansion. On July 20, 1977 the Chief of Naval Operations revised the Navy Uniform Board in OPNAV INSTRUCTION 5420.58B. In this instruction, the Chief of Naval Personnel was assigned responsibility for appointing appropriate membership to the Board and providing its executive staff. The membership of the Board was divided into three groups; an executive panel, military subcommittees and a civilian advisory panel.

The executive panel was comprised of senior officers and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, who represented the major warfare and staff communities of the Navy. These members, drawing on their own intimate knowledge and free discussions, voted on various proposals presented by the subcommittees and the Uniform Board Staff. The president of the Board submitted recommendations of the panel to the Chief of Naval Personnel for forwarding to the Chief of Naval Operations for approval or disapproval. Composition of the panel was as follows:

President-Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel

Regular members-

Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command; Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel for Human Resource Management; Commander, Navy Recruiting Command; Director, Navy Nurses Corps; Senior Woman Officer Representative Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.

The second group of the Board consisted of military subcommittees. Separate officer and enlisted committees were formed to analyze uniform change proposals based on their background and experience. Their recommendations would be forwarded to the executive panel for review and vote. Membership of each of the committees was as follows:

CDR 2 male, 2 female

LCDR 2 male, 2 female

LT 2 male, 2 female

E-7-9 2 male, 2 female

E6 2 male, 2 female

E5 2 male, 2 female

The final group was the civilian advisory panel. This panel would be comprised of voluntary experts, both female and male, of the fashion and garment industry who, by their stature was professionals, would advise the Uniform Board on clothing matters. In addition to providing information on the latest developments in their industries, they would facilitate liaison between the civilian clothing industry and the Navy Department.

Again a permanent staff was instituted to carry out routine matters for the Board. This staff included a Staff Director, a Commander, USN, a Plans Officer, a Lieutenant, USN, and a Programs Officer, a Lieutenant or Senior Chief, USN. K The Staff Director also served as secretary and the Programs Officer as recorder of the Navy Uniform Board. 10

Despite the new composition and administration of the Navy Uniform Board, the functions of the Board remained essentially the same. Also, as in the past, the Board would meet quarterly and at other times as directed by its president.

The most recent revision of the Navy Uniform board which established its present form was made on November 21, 1983, by OPNAV INSTRUCTION 5420.58D. This revision drastically reduced and simplified the administration of the Board and designed specifically the functions of all components of the Board. The composition was as follows: President—Commander, Naval Military personnel Command; regular members----Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. The president of the Navy Uniform Board was authorized to appoint working groups to perform special functions and studies.

The permanent staff was comprised of: Director of Navy Uniform Matters, Command; Plans and Programs Officer, Lieutenant; and an enlisted representative, Master Chief Petty Officer. It was prescribed that this staff will support the president, Navy Uniform Board in carrying out his responsibilities and will provide point of contact with the Fleet Commanders in Chief, Chief of Naval Reserve, and Chief of Naval education and Training to maintain liaison. The functions of the Board itself basically remained as before.11

The Navy Uniform Board today essentially serves the same mission as it did when it first began in the 1930s. It should be noted that the Board does not and never did write the Uniform Regulations for the Navy. The Board merely recommends changes to the CNO, who upon approval, will promulgate the changes to the Chief of Naval Personnel who will take appropriate action.
