Currently the Air Force and Army have two distinct uniforms. This creates duplication of costs associated with the manufacturing, transportation, and storage of having two separate lines of uniforms and associated accessories. Having the Air Force adopt the new Army uniform could save millions of dollars by eliminating the need to have two different type of uniforms and accessories. Additionally it would increase the availability of uniforms and accessories, and eliminate the added cost of having to issue additional uniforms when deploying to joint environments.
