6159.03a - Criteria for Wearing Uniform
1. Each of the Forest Leadership Team is delegated the authority to determine who,
under the various human resource programs, shall wear the uniform or volunteer vest (volunteers
only).
2. Each of the Forest Leadership Team is delegated the authority to determine who shall
be required to wear the uniform and the optional components of the uniform, which are required
by the position. The parent text and Regional supplements define many specific positions. The
following criteria shall be used in evaluating the need and appropriateness for personnel other
than those specifically identified, to wear a uniform:
a. Identification. Is there a need for the uniform to provide a ready means of
identification in a setting in which it is not readily apparent or known that the employee is
representing the Forest Service in their contact with the public?
b. Image. Is there an opportunity to project the Forest Service image in a high
visibility situation in which the person will be able to answer the full range of questions which
would normally be posed by the public?
c. Information. The individual is present in the Forest environment and is
expected as a part of their normal responsibilities to provide the visiting public with information
or assistance.
