Under which law is civilian wear restricted to members of the U.S. Army?

• A. Title 18 U.S.C.
• B. Title 10 U.S.C. Section 771, Chapter 45
• C. Title 42 U.S.C.
• D. Title 26 U.S.C.

Answer: (B)

Wearing a military uniform is tightly regulated to prevent impersonation and protect the integrity of service. The law that specifically limits civilian wear of the Army uniform is found in Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Chapter 45, Section 771. This part of the code covers uniforms, insignia, and decorations, and it makes clear that the Army uniform and its insignia are restricted to members of the armed forces or to individuals who are explicitly authorized to wear them by regulation. Violations can imply false representation of military status, so the statute provides a clear legal basis for prohibiting civilian wear.

Other options point to different areas of law. Title 18 deals with general crimes, not the specific regulation of military attire; Title 42 concerns public health and welfare; Title 26 is the Internal Revenue Code. The military-uniform regulation is specifically housed within Title 10, under the section dealing with uniforms and insignia, which is why that option is the best fit.
