The Air Force OCP Mandatory Wear Date is April 1, 2021, in addition all patches must be Spice Brown background. As of June 1, 2020, Coyote Brown boots, DLA issued green socks and Tan T-shirts must be worn when wearing their utility uniform.

Until the Mandatory Wear Date Army soldiers can wear combinations of UCP, OCP and OCIE (all components must be the same camouflage pattern). It will be their required ACU uniform camo pattern on October 1, 2019. In addition to giving our military more protection while they are in combat the joint branch adoption of the OCP or Scorpion W2 pattern gives the Army and Air Force a standard camouflage pattern.įor Army soldiers, the OCP camo or Scorpion W2 pattern became available for purchase starting in July 2015. This discovery solidified the need to execute the transition in uniform camouflage pattern. After much feedback and years of testing it was found that the current digital Tiger Stripe ABU does not have the level of concealment as the Army’s Scorpion W2 pattern. Both Airmen and Army soldiers have voiced concern about the pattern design, comfort and safety features of the utility uniform.Ī main concern for the Air Force is the ABU's pattern and features. Over the years the combat uniform pattern has changed multiple times for the Air Force and Army. Why Are the Air Force OCP Uniform and Army Combat Uniform Changing?
