Which direction does the belt tab on the male ASU face?

The belt tab on the male Army Service Uniform (ASU) is designed to face the wearer's left side. This positioning is standardized to maintain uniformity and ensure that all soldiers adhere to the same guidelines regarding appearance. The design and orientation of the belt tab contribute to the overall neatness of the uniform and reflect the Army's emphasis on discipline and attention to detail.

The choice to have the tab face left is also practical, as it allows for easier access when adjusting or securing the belt, especially when wearing the uniform in a variety of situations. This practice enhances functionality without sacrificing the professional appearance that the Army uniform is intended to uphold. Maintaining this standard across all service members ensures a cohesive look, emblematic of the Army's values and traditions.
