THE US MILITARY UNIFORM - The following is a list of some of the tags that were used in the US military uniforms during the Vietnam war. This section covers primarily the tags that were produced by military factories.

Soldiers had the option to have their uniforms made by private tailors. These shops would produce the uniform according to the proper military standards but would place their own tag instead of the official military production one. There were hundreads, if not thousands, of private tags produced. We will only show a handful of those because they do not really contain much information in them.
