Is that authorized?

AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy--Due to a shortage of the all-purpose clothing system jacket (i.e. ABU Gortex), Brig. Gen. Craig Franklin, 31st Fighter Wing commander, has authorized the wear of the woodland-patterned camouflage Gortex coat or field jacket with the new ABUs. To minimize the mixing of uniforms, it is highly recommended Airmen plan accordingly and wear BDUs on days when weather will dictate wear of cold weather garments.
