BY JAMES BOLINGER Stars and Stripes The Air Force and Space Force are changing the look of name- tapes on their camouflage uniforms to make them easier to read, the Air Force announced Thursday. The services will move to a lighter, three-color pattern for rank insignia lettering of occupational badges, nametapes and service identifiers that should make ranks and names easier to see on the Operational Camouflage Pattern — OCP — utility uniform. “We received significant feedback that prompted this update,” Lisa Truesdale, the Air Force’s military force management policy deputy director, said in a statement. “The current rank insignia, badges, name and service tapes on the OCP uniform are some- times challenging to see against a seven-color background.” The Army’s nametapes are much easier to see, Senior Airman Yong Hwa Song told Stars and Stripes on Friday at Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo. The spice brown thread color used by the Air Force obscures the letters against the camouflage back- ground, he said. “Name tags are not that expensive,” Song said. “As long as there is a good transition period it won’t be too bad, and we can keep our old one till the transition period [is over].” The current nametape, insignia and badges pattern will re- main authorized for wear, the statement said. Airmen graduat- ing from basic training will see new nametapes by October. Additionally, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service has begun to stock the new three-color pattern, the statement said. The Defense Logistics Agency, which manages the global sup- ply chain for the Defense Department has placed an order for the new name tapes, which should be in circulation by Novem- ber, the statement said. The Air Force will retain the spice brown thread used for let- tering on name tapes and rank insignia, while the Space Force will use blue stitching. THERON GODBOLD/Stars and Stripes Stars and Stripes reporter Theron Godbold contributed to this report. [email protected] The Air Force is changing the name and insignia tapes on uniforms to make them more visible.

HAZELWOOD — A MO portion of a St. Louis County road will be closed for a year and a half, in part to remove radioactive soil along a contami- nated creek. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch re- ported that the 18-month closure of a stretch of Pershall Road in Hazelwood also will allow for the replacement of a bridge. The U.S. Army Corps of En- gineers has been removing soil along the north St. Louis County creek for many years. Radioac- tive waste was illegally dumped there decades ago, causing envi- ronmental damage and creating health concerns for people who lived near the creek. Last year, a report released by a federal agency confirmed that people who lived near Coldwater Creek could face a higher risk of certain types of cancer.
