WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — When an Air Force service member gets dressed for his or her job, he or she dons apparel and equipment that were developed, produced, deployed, sustained and modified by a small group of fewer than 20 people working here.

The Air Force Uniform Office, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, has been at Wright-Patterson AFB since its inception in 1947. It receives program requirements and direction from the Air Force’s chief of staff; Manpower, Personnel and Services; Logistics, Engineering and Force Protection; and combatant commanders.
