WASHINGTON - The U.S. Army is updating its facial hair grooming policy in an Army Directive that resulted from a force-wide review of military standards. The update reinforces the Army’s long-standing policy that all Soldiers must be clean-shaven when in uniform or civilian clothes while on duty, with temporary exemptions for medical reasons and permanent exemptions for religious accommodations.
