Thank you SSG(P) (Join to see) for sharing the news that the USAF is adopting the US Army Operational Camouflage Pattern beginning next Fiscal year.
Having the Army and Air Force using the same uniform should reduce overall costs and enable DLA to negotiate efficient contracts to purchase these uniforms.

"The U.S. Air Force is adopting the Army's Operational Camouflage Pattern as its new combat uniform and will begin incrementally phasing it in beginning Oct. 1. [2018]
The service will ditch the Airman Battle Uniform, known as the ABU, for the OCP over the next three years, with the expectation that all airmen will be wearing the OCP by April 2021, said Maj. Gen. Robert LaBrutta, Air Force director of military force management policy, and deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services.
"Enhancing our readiness, the OCP is a uniform for form, fit and function," LaBrutta told reporters May 9. "It is the best-of-breed of utility uniform that we believe is in the inventory."
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein agreed. “The uniform works in all climates -- from Minot to Manbij -- and across the spectrum of missions we perform,” he said in a service release. “It’s suitable for our airmen working on a flight line in Northern Tier states and for those conducting patrols in the Middle East."
The Breakdown
The OCP's colors vary by location -- desert vs. forest, for example. It generally has a four-to-six color palette incorporating greens, beiges, browns, tans and greys.
Those airmen who are already authorized to wear the uniform can currently sport desert sand or tan boots, but the service will transition completely to the coyote tan boots sometime in 2020, LaBrutta said.
The Air Force will differ from the Army in velcro patches, name tape and insignia by using a "spice brown" color, he added.
First lieutenants and lieutenant colonels will have black rank insignia and patches to differentiate them from second lieutenants and majors, LaBrutta said.

Airmen will have the option to sew on their name tape, service tape or both. Officers will have their rank on their patrol caps. Both officers and enlisted airmen will have their last names on the back of the cap.
Patches used for commands down to the squadron level will be reworked to incorporate the spice brown color in some way, LaBrutta said.
"Everything on the configuration is the same as the Army wears the uniform; we're just going to make some small color variations," he said.
Airmen will also wear tan undershirts and "DLA green" socks, which are actually more of a tan color.
There will be a standard, adjustable unisex version, but also a secondary female-only uniform, LaBrutta said.
"The Army is transitioning into that right now, and we're excited we're right in the part of that transition. When we field this uniform, we believe that that's going to be a better fit for the women that wear the OCPs," he said."

I am not suprised, AFSOC has been wearing the OCP for over a year now. When we started wearing it last year is pretty bare by AF standards. This year we have added both Wing and unit patches. I wonder long it will take before we start adding a bunch of other stuff, more patches, badges, etc?

You never heard of the Flying Tigers ? LOL
