Phase I Issue


The CIIP will issue IET Soldiers their full clothing bag issue upon arrival to Ft. Benning's 30th AG reception Bn. This is done in 2 phases. Phase I is the issue of all clothing and equipment needed by the Soldier, to start his/her training. If a IET Soldier arrives after duty hours, or too late in the day to go through a full Phase I issue, there is a Night issue that will get the Soldier all he/she is required to get through the night and the next morning before processing through Phase I issue.

The Night issue consists of:

  • Duffle bag - 1 each
  • Barrack bag - 1 each
  • Short sleeve PT shirts - 3 each
  • Long sleeve PT shirts - 2 each
  • Pair of black PT trunks - 3 each
  • Sweatshirts - 2 each
  • Sweatpants - 2 each
  • Towels - 4 each
  • Bag Duffie
  • Jacket Wet Weather
  • Jacket Cold Weather
  • Hydration System
  • Spectacles Industrial

The Phase I issue process consists of:

The Soldiers arrive at the CIIP at 1300 each work day and are lined up in roster number sequence. They are filed in the room seated from front to rear filling all seats; they are given an IRM scan form and then briefed. They will also receive (7) socks green, (7) sock liner black, (1) rigger belt, (1) pair of goggles, (3) flags, (3) US Army tabs, (1) identification tag silencer, and (1) ID chain. The Briefing consists of the issue procedures, the items that they will receive, exchange procedures, maintenance of the uniforms, and the service that they can expect to receive. Note: The Phase I Soldiers are briefed by the 30th AG processors.

They are then instructed to remove their shoes, and to undress from the waist up, leaving only their shirt next to the body on, placing everything in their duffle bag. They will then proceed through the listed stations where they will be fitted and receive the items they will need to complete training. During the issue process of Phase I items, some of these items fit snuggly; therefore it is required that the Soldiers have already had all their medical processing and haircuts, and also have been able to take care of personal hygiene, since some Soldiers will be trying on many different sizes of the same item to ensure proper fit.

The Phase I stations:

  • Station 1- issued (7) pair of sand briefs, and (7) sand t-shirts. (Winter Issue: Poly Pros, light and heavy weight.)
  • Station 2 – (1) black gloves, (2) pair insert, (2) patrol caps, elbow and knee pads. Individual measurements and the size prediction chart will be utilized to determine sizes issued.
  • Station 3 – Trousers, Army Combat Uniform (ACU). Personnel will receive 4 pairs of ACU trousers. Individual measurements and the size prediction chart will be utilized to determine sizes issued.
  • Station 4 – Coat, Army Combat Uniform (ACU). Personnel will receive 4 each ACU coats and (1) ACU Gore-Tex jacket.
  • Station 5 – Boots. Personnel will receive (1) pair of hot weather boots and (1) pair of temperate weather boots. Measurements from the foot measuring device will be utilized to assist in determining the size to be issued.
  • Station 6- Shake down. The purpose of shake down is to ensure that each individual had all clothing in authorized quantities. After all clothing had been checked, the individual will sign his copy of the IRM scan sheet. CIIP personnel conducting the shake down will collect these forms and turn them into the Administration Office for processing.

This process is done on the first full day of processing, to ensure that the Soldier gets a chance to wear the equipment and clothing to ensure proper fit and serviceability prior to shipping to their training unit. This allows for seasoned professionals to view the fit and wear of the uniform and clothing, and the troops to wear the boots to ensure proper fit, without causing blisters. If there is a problem with any of the issue prior to shipping to the training units, the individual can return to the CIIP with 30th AG processors, to exchange equipment / clothing / boots for the proper fitting ones.
