What is the correct way to wear the Army necktie?

• A. The necktie should be a four-in-hand, heritage green service tie.
• B. The necktie should be a Windsor knot, blue tie.
• C. The necktie should be a bow tie.
• D. The necktie should be tucked inside the shirt with no knot.

Answer: (A)

Following Army uniform standards for neckwear, the correct approach is to wear the heritage green service tie with a four-in-hand knot. This combination provides a neat, proportional look that fits cleanly under the shirt collar and uses the designated tie color and pattern for the service uniform. A Windsor knot is too bulky for the collar, and a bow tie is reserved for different dress occasions, not the standard service uniform. Tucking the tie inside the shirt with no knot eliminates neckwear altogether and does not meet dress regulations.
