What is the guideline for wearing the garrison cap?

• A. The cap should be crushed or shaped to form peaks at the top.
• B. The cap should not be crushed or shaped to form peaks at the top.
• C. The cap must be worn at an angle.
• D. The cap should be worn with the brim facing backward.

Answer: (B)

Wearing the garrison cap means keeping it flat and square on the head—no crushing or shaping into peaks. The cap is designed to sit with a smooth crown and a neat, uniform silhouette, so forming peaks would distort its shape and disrupt the overall appearance of the uniform. It should be worn level and centered, without tilting, and there is no brim to orient backward. This consistent, unaltered look helps keep insignia visible and the uniform line uniform across personnel.
