WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force introduced its first camouflage uniforms on Friday, which were revealed to be a package of adhesive glow-in-the-dark stars from Amazon.
According to officials, Space Force Guardians should attach the peel-and-stick stars no more than 6 inches apart over their currently issued blues during combat operations or whenever the need for “space stealth” occurs.
“We are super excited about this new uniform,” said Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman. “The stars glow in the dark, so it is basically green energy. Plus each pack of stars is like six bucks per uniform, which frees up a ton of my budget to create really neat space helmets I’ve been working on,” Raymond said motioning to a nearby shelf of Mandalorian helmets.
