The Army will begin issuing its official Combat Cloth Face Covering, or CCFC, to new soldiers next year, the service announced Wednesday.
Army Uniform Board recommended at its summer meeting that a camouflage mask be fielded, and Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville has approved the recommendation.
The Army has largely provided disposable or reusable solid-color masks to soldiers to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The service will begin issuing two combat face coverings to each new soldier during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 in Initial Entry Training as part of their clothing bag issue, according to an Army news release.
