Shop Uniforms and Tactical by Category

From daily-wear OCP combat uniforms to formal dress attire and field tactical equipment, the Exchange uniform department is the authorised one-stop source for military clothing needs.

OCP and Combat Uniforms

The Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) is the standard combat uniform for the Army, Air Force and Space Force. ShopMyExchange stocks OCP combat coats and trousers in all regulation sizes including short, regular, long and extra-long inseams. Sizes range from X-Small to XX-Large. OCP patrol caps, boonie hats, Tan 499 t-shirts and moisture-wicking undergarments complete the combat ensemble.

All OCP items sold at the Exchange carry proper NSN designations and meet DoD specifications. Service members receiving their initial clothing allowance frequently spend it at the Exchange, and many commanders direct new soldiers to the Exchange uniform shop as the first stop after in-processing. The Exchange also stocks flame-resistant variants for aviation and combat arms personnel.

Coats, trousers, skirts, shirts and accessories including ties, belts, gloves and headgear are stocked in a full range of sizes. The Exchange uniform shop offers professional fitting services at most installation locations.

Dress uniforms represent a significant investment — a complete ASU ensemble can cost $500 to $800. Purchasing at the Exchange means that entire investment is tax-free, saving $30 to $76 depending on state tax rates. Officers preparing for commissioning and enlisted members approaching promotion boards frequently rely on the Exchange for regulation-compliant dress uniform procurement.

Tactical Boots and Duty Footwear

The Exchange is the largest authorised retailer of AR 670-1 compliant tactical boots in the military retail system. Brands include Danner Tachyon, Rocky C4T, Belleville One Xero, Garmont T8 Bifida, Nike SFB Gen 2 and Oakley Light Assault. Standard, wide and extra-wide widths are stocked in sizes from 4 to 16 in most models. Coyote brown is the primary colour for OCP-compliant boots, with black available for dress and service uniforms.

Properly fitted duty boots are essential for performance and injury prevention. Exchange stores on major installations employ trained boot fitters who understand the specific demands of military duty footwear. The online store provides detailed sizing guides and fit recommendations based on foot shape, arch type and intended use environment.
