Explanation
(This amendment provides funding for new uniforms mandated by changes to the military uniforms by the U.S. Army. The funding is needed to outfit all cadets in the new Army combat uniform (ACU) that has replaced the old battle dress uniform (BDU) currently worn by cadets. This change must be implemented in FY 2008 since BDUs are no longer manufactured. The current unique military activities (UMA) appropriation does not have sufficient resources to incorporate this change within the current funding.)
