The Air Force is Getting a New Look

“For years, airmen have dreamed of it, demanded it, and envied those lucky enough to have it already.

–

And now, finally, the Operational Camouflage Pattern uniform on its way. For everybody.

–

The Air Force announced Monday that it is adopting the Army’s OCP as its official utility uniform. The uniform will roll out across the force over the next three years.

–

While some airmen already wear the OCP ― such as airmen in the Middle East and Air Force Global Strike Command security forces ― the Air Force will start rolling it out to others beginning Oct. 1.

–

By April 1, 2021, all airmen will be required to wear the OCP, and the current airman battle uniform, or ABU, will be no more.”
