WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Staff Sgt. Daryl Alford dons the test Air Force utility uniform in the Pentagon’s courtyard. The blue, gray and green tiger-stripe camouflage ensemble includes many new features intended to increase functionality while providing a distinctive look for the 21st century airmen. The uniforms will undergo wear-testing beginning in January 4. Airmen from a cross section of Air Force career fields will provide feedback on the fit, durability and functionality of the proposed ensemble which will come in men's and women's cuts.
