The camouflage costume announced by the US Space Force was criticized for being too similar to the army, the air force and the lack of creativity.
"The Space Force's first disguised military uniform (USSF) has arrived at the Pentagon. USSF uses the existing army and air force uniforms to save on the cost of designing and producing new models. USSF will be like other teammates working on the ground, "the USSF Twitter account posted on January 18, with photos of the new military uniform.

Above the left chest pocket of the new military uniform is the words "American Space Force" with the symbol of the army, on the left sleeve is the symbol of the Command of the Trophy and the American flag. The USSF uniform uses a camouflage pattern called "Combat Camouflage Pattern" (OCP), developed in 2009 and revised in 2015.
The photo of USSF immediately received a lot of attention from Twitter users, mainly decrying their new camouflage uniform as well as the creativity of this newly formed army.
"Camouflage in space? It's just a waste of tax. It's good!", One person posted on Twitter. "I know this is hard to understand, but the left is the USSF camouflage, the right is the cosmic photo. Study the picture carefully until you see the difference," the account said. JRehling wrote, accompanied by a photo comparing the color of the US Space Forces camouflage to the black of space.
"This is the clever trick. Have the kids enroll in the Space Force, then take them to war in Iraq and Afghanistan," an account commented on the similarity between USSF uniforms and the US Army. .

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said the USSF must now address many other issues besides military uniform design. About 5,000-6,000 USSF members were also transferred from the US Air Force.
The Space Force is the sixth army of the US military, established in December 2020 by order of President Donald Trump, whose mission is to protect satellites, combat threats in space and affirm the dominate America in orbit.
The new army of the US Air Force has 16,000 personnel. The Space Command is in charge of space operations, which was established in August 2019.
Russia is the only country outside of the US that has its own military. The Russian Space Army was founded in 1992, after many times it was dissolved and merged with another army and became a member of the Aerospace Forces.
