Uniform and Gear Sources

CAP Manual 39-1 provides all the regulations for types of clothing and various associated items (belts, shoes, etc.)  The official CAP source online is VANGUARD.  However you may find items that meet CAP criteria elsewhere, including some local stores.  Since CAP requires woodland camo BDUs but the US Air Force issues fewer and fewer of them as they move to new styles of uniforms, you may need other sources for BDUs and perhaps other related clothing.  Blues (formal) dress can still be obtained at McChord AFB or other sources online.
