About this file
This is an extract from Air Force Regulation DAFI36-2903 (dated 29 February 2024), which establishes uniform wear and appearance standards for U.S. Air Force personnel.
The document specifies detailed requirements for officer and enlisted rank insignia placement on topcoats, all-weather coats, and Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) jackets. Topcoats and all-weather coats must be blue and extend between the bottom of the kneecap and mid-calf, worn only with formal dress, mess dress, Class A, semi-formal dress, and Class B uniforms. For maternity uniforms, coats may be modified from double-breasted to single-breasted with three buttons repositioned to the left side front. Officer rank insignia (1-inch metal stars for all generals, with 3/4-inch stars as an optional alternative) must be centered 5/8-inch from the end of epaulets. Enlisted personnel wear metal rank insignia centered 1-inch up from the collar bottom, or alternatively wear 3½ to 4-inch chevrons centered on the outer arm midway between the shoulder seam and elbow. The Gen III, Level VI OCP jacket may only be worn with OCP and flight duty uniforms, features spice brown slip-on rank worn on the rank tab, and must be zipped no lower than the mid-point of the rank tab when worn, except for OCP maternity uniforms where the jacket may remain unzipped. A coyote brown fleece liner may be worn under the OCP jacket but must not be visible. Notably, nametapes cannot be placed on the OCP jacket without affecting its performance or protection level, making it the only OCP jacket without nametapes.
