Gen. Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations for the U.S. Space Force, wears a newly developed mess dress uniform as part of formal wear testing. Multiple outlets report that he is seen using the first wear-test version of the mess dress at an Air Force graduation ceremony in mid-June. The uniform is being evaluated in a real-world setting to help assess its fit, appearance, and overall suitability before formal wear testing proceeds. The reports describe the moment as a preview of the uniform and do not provide additional details about the uniform’s specifications, timeline for completing testing, or which other events may be used for further evaluation. Overall, both sources agree that the debut occurs at an Air Force graduation ceremony and that the purpose of the appearance is to test the mess dress in its initial trial form.
