The staff has provided two options below for consideration as you begin assessing shortfalls that can
be addressed.
(1) Uniforms for prior-service members. The staff continues to hear concerns from the field that many units have prior-service Airmen that do not have the basic issue of 4 sets of OCP and/or a complete set of Blues. These instances have led directly to ARC deployment discrepancies, personnel arriving in the AOR without required uniforms/cold weather gear, and Airmen arriving to Tech School without the mandatory uniform compliment. Follow guidance in attached PIM 20-006 for funding allowance information.
(2) AF Maintenance Duty Uniform (MDU). The Air Force authorized the purchase and wear of the AF MDU/Coveralls on 7 February 2020 (DAFI36-2903). The MDU is classified as Organizational clothing and, IAW AFRC PIM 20-006,Commanders are authorized use of Reserve Personnel Appropriation (RPA) Funds for MDU/Coverall purchase. Airmen in AFSC’s: 2A, 2F, 2G, 2M, 2P, 2S, 2T, 2W, 3E, 3D and 1P are authorized to wear the MDU. HQ AFRC has confirmed that PIM 20-006 is still valid and applicable.
NOTE: Any RPA funds utilized to order standard uniform items IAW AFI 36-3012, Attachment 3 will need to be obtained using KYLOC IAW 23-101_AFRCSUP, Chp 11.3 BL: Please be on the lookout for the funding distribution to your 721 accounts and be prepared to execute immediately upon receipt of funds.
Please coordinate and work with your local FM and Supply teams for any specific 721, GPC or KYLOC procurement questions.
