CQ Uniforms? Which are worn 1800-0600?

• A. ACUs (0600-1800)
• B. Casual civilian clothes
• C. PT Gear
• D. APFUs 1800-0600

Answer: (D)

Charge of Quarters is the overnight duty in the barracks, so the uniform for that shift is the Army Physical Fitness Uniform. This wear period covers the evening through the early morning, from 1800 to 0600, making the APFU the appropriate choice for CQ duties. The ACU is a more formal field/duty uniform used during daytime tasks, not the overnight period. Casual civilian clothes aren’t authorized for CQ, and PT Gear is meant for workouts, not guard duties. So, the APFU worn 1800–0600 fits the needs of CQ best.
