USAF Airmen Battle Ensemble Pants, ABU

Description

These are US Airforce Airmen Battle Ensemble Pant’s. The Airmen Battle Ensemble (ABE) is a lesser known ABU variation that was designed to be given to Air Force personnel such as TACP’s, PJ’s or CCT’s who may be attached to other US Military units who are conducting combat operations. As the GWOT went on it was discovered the standard ABU uniform was not cutting it for USAF personnel in combat zones and the need for a flame resistant variation of the uniform was needed. In 2008 the USAF temporarily adopted the ABE as a stopgap measure to provide USAF personnel with a fire resistant uniform while in theater. The ABE would only be utilized for a few years as the USAF moved forward with a rule allowing USAF personnel in combat zones to wear the US Army’s flame resistant uniform until full OCP adoption began in 2018. The ABE pants feature a flame resistant material construction, button/ zipper fly, adjustable pant cuffs, zippered cargo pockets, zippered ankle pockets, hand pockets, back pockets and a waist drawstring. So, whether you’re an Air Force collector or just and enjoyer of weird US Military uniforms make sure to grab a pair of these USAF Airmen Battle Ensemble Pants to your collection today!
