Pending Space Force decisions include dress uniform updates, Space Force-specific insignia and a rank structure.
Over the last year, the newest military branch has debuted its official logo, seal, flag and organization's structure. However, should Space Force members find themselves in jobs - such as operating outside the wire, or assignment that "have occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) requirements" - they will be authorized to wear "the 100% cotton Fire-Retardant OCP" or a variation of the flight duty uniform in the future as needed. Space Force members will not be authorized to wear the Two-Piece Flight Duty Uniform (2PFDU), nor do they need to purchase a fire retardant OCP set, per the memo. Assigned unit patches are required "to be worn centered on the velcro patch of the right sleeve," the release said.

Officials said that tapes and insignia may be sewn on or velcroed on, but must be consistent in their attachment as to avoid mixing sewn and velcroed elements. Unlike the other services, Space Force personnel use a shade of dark navy blue known as 'space blue' for stitching on their name and service tape. flag patch, grade insignia, occupational badge, and name and service tapes with space blue embroidery on three-color OCP background."
