Airman's Roll Call highlights ABU updates Published Nov. 28, 2007 SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- This week's Airman's Roll Call focuses on the airman battle uniform and meeting the needs of today's readily deployable Airmen. While the ABU becomes mandatory in November 2011, Airmen who deploy, as well as those in basic military training are being issued the new uniform now. As ABU supplies increase, Army and Air Force Exchange Service distribution of the uniform will increase to reach more locations across the Air Force. For more information about the ABU, contact a local military personnel flight, or visit the Air Force Portal and type "uniform" in the search engine. Read this week's Airman's Roll Call. Airman's Roll Call is designed for supervisors at all levels to help keep Airmen informed on current issues, clear up confusion, dispel rumors and provide additional face-to-face communication.
