The Air Force OCP Uniform is the current standard combat uniform worn by Airmen. It uses the Operational Camouflage Pattern known as Scorpion W2. This uniform is designed for modern operational environments and provides improved concealment, durability, and comfort. The Air Force began issuing it in 2018 and required all Airmen to transition to it by April 1, 2021.
Airmen are required to wear coyote brown boots with the OCP uniform. Boots must meet Air Force standards for height, material, and construction. Safety toes and side zippers are allowed if they comply with AFI 36-2903 and if the commander approves them.
Certain uniforms such as flight suit coat and trousers are made from flame resistant materials that meet military specifications. Flame resistant items are issued or authorized when required for specific duty positions, such as aircrew or high-risk operational tasks.
Wash the uniform with mild detergent, do not use bleach or fabric softener, and avoid high heat. Air dry when possible or use low heat to prevent fading and preserve the fabric. Follow the care instructions on the garment label to maintain durability and appearance.
No. Only the Operational Camouflage Pattern (Scorpion W2) is authorized for duty wear in the Air Force. Other camouflage patterns are not allowed for official use.
Approved Air Force OCP items can be purchased from Propper. Always ensure the item is listed as Air Force compliant before purchase.
The Air Force OCP uniform is the branch’s standard combat uniform that uses the Scorpion W2 pattern and replaces the older ABU (Airman Battle Uniform). It is designed for versatility, concealment, and durability in a wide range of operational environments.
The Air Force announced its adoption of the OCP uniform in May 2018. Airmen were required to wear OCPs by April 1, 2021. This followed the Army’s adoption in 2015 and the Space Force’s adoption in 2020.
Both use the same camouflage pattern, but branch details differ. The Air Force uses spice brown thread for name tapes and rank, a coyote brown T-shirt, and requires a subdued flag patch at all times. The Army uses black thread on name tapes, a Tan 499 T-shirt, and only requires a flag during deployed operations. Patch placement conventions also differ slightly between the branches.
The Air Force switched from the ABU to the OCP uniform because field testing and operational feedback showed that the OCP pattern offered much better concealment, comfort, and environmental versatility. Aligning uniforms across the Army, Air Force, and later the Space Force also increased consistency for joint operations.
