Air Force Women Step Up with Positive Change via Fitment Program

The Female Fitment Program continues to influence daily life and duty for female Airmen, moving history forward for generations of women.

Being the only Female Fitment Program office in the Air and Space Forces, personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base are working to develop uniforms that provide women with proper form, fit and function. The program seeks to ensure that all female Airmen feel comfortable and confident in what they are wearing and know their uniform is being made with women in mind from start to finish.

Initiated and hosted by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, the program's mission is to acquire and support human systems to enhance warfighter performance, protection and survivability.
