Full Dress Mounted Army Regulations
AR 60-38 (1938) distinguished between full dress (or full dress, mounted) and blue dress (or blue dress mounted) uniforms.
The full dress uniform consisted of the dress blue coat, shoulder straps, dress blue trousers, dress blue cap, full dress sword belt and saber (with saber chain and dress saber knot), aiguillette, badges, large decorations and service medals, and four-in-hand necktie.
The full dress mounted uniform substituted service breeches and russet riding boots with spurs, straps or chains for the dress blue trousers and black shoes.
The full dress version was worn on state occasions at home and abroad; when receiving the President of the United States; when receiving or calling upon the president, sovereign, or member of the royal family of other countries; at ceremonies and entertainments when it is desired to do special honor to the occasion; at social functions of a general or official nature, when prescribed; and as prescribed for the White House (specifically, for New Year’s and other state receptions before 6PM; other White House events called for wear of the special evening dress uniform).
The blue dress uniform and blue dress mounted uniform were the same as the full dress uniform and full dress mounted uniform, but with ribbons instead of medals, and without the full dress sword belt and saber (unless commanding a formation under arms).
Thank you to Eric for giving me the US Army Regulation on Full Dress Mounted Uniforms from WWII.
