The short answer is No! There is no official reference to share this subject, but occasionally organizations publish local policy at the Division, BDE, or BN level that clarifies the command’s position on issues of this nature.
Now for clarification. Let’s say the Soldier has difficulty wearing the uniform correctly and you decide to have them report every hour on the hour in a different uniform for inspection. In this case I would encourage the leader to show up in the same uniform as this removes the perception of punishment from the corrective training and sends a message to the Soldier:
“My leader cares and he will uphold the same standard he requires of me. Also, my leader is a little crazy. He is willing to give up his free time to correct my performance.”
The Soldier usually realizes that he would rather improve his performance than deal with a crazy NCO.
