 ditions named above, it should not be so construed by commanding 
 officers as to result in a part of the officers of a regiment wearing, 
 at formations under arms in the field, this short coat, and others at 
 the same time wearing the olive-drab overcoat (103 (6)). All should 
 wear it or none. The wearing of mixed uniforms at formations

 and insert the head through the opening provided, the upper or un- 
 buttoned part falling to the rear and forming a cape. If necessary, 
 the cape thus formed may be secured by buttoning it to one of the 
 rear buttons by means of the buttonhole in the center of the back 
 thereof or by tying the gilling cord furnished with the poncho 
 around the waist.
