Maj. Gen. Steven Whitney, Director of Staff for the Space Force, emphasized the importance of this event, stating, “This is more than a uniform rollout; this is the first finalized service-specific uniform that Guardians can wear with pride.” This new Space Force Uniform is tailored to meet the unique physical demands of Guardians and enhance their training experience.
The space force uniform incorporates several performance-enhancing features designed for optimal comfort and functionality during physical training.
