Elvis’ army uniform will be back on display at the Hard Rock Biloxi when it re-opens on July 7 2007. The casino barge was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and Elvis’ army uniform was found floating on a mannequin in the Mississippi Sound. When the casino re-opens, Elvis’ suit, along with other memorabilia such as guitars belonging to B B King, Kiss and Johnny Cash, will be back on display along with a special tribute to James Brown.
Update:
Graceland claims to have two army uniforms, while a collector in Brussels says that he has “the one and only” army outfit of Elvis. To top things off, even the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis puts “the original” Elvis army uniform on display this summer

And any one could have the black and white tags for the fatigues made for the time period. and of course last but not least the duffel bag to put all your stuff in. and yes it all did fit very well and if i left out anything i'm sorry..

So as u can see by this there is no original army uniform, there are many and as i said everyone had spares they bought on there own. the only marked items was the duffel bag for which there would be only one. so if anything is rare it is Elvis' duffel bag. whci he does not show when he is comming home. the last time you see it in photo's is getting off the USS Randall
