Ford. Now, 50% of east coast ships have been issued the 2POC, according to Lt. Cmdr. Mary Sanford, a spokeswoman for Fleet Forces Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe distribution is based on priority lists provided by each type commander,\u201d Sanford said in an email to Navy Times. \u201cThese lists take into account the unit\u2019s operational and maintenance schedules. U.S. Fleet Forces expects to outfit all east coast ships by Spring of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, nearly half of all orders for the uniform have gone to West Coast ships, and U.S. Pacific Fleet anticipates that all west coast ships will receive the 2POC by fall 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like their East Coast brethren, distribution is based on priority lists provided by each type commander and factor in the unit\u2019s operational and maintenance schedules, Hough said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2022\/12\/30\/new-in-2023-flame-retardant-uniform-to-become-more-widely-available\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5125497.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">New in 2023: Flame retardant uniform to become more widely available<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Distribution of the uniform to certain units started in December and is expected to expand in 2023 to even more sailors.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uniform features a tri-fiber blend and flame resistant fabric that equivalent to the flame resistance found in the Improved Fire Retardant Variant uniform, per a Fleet Forces Command internal message Navy Times obtained last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every sailor aboard surface ships and submarines will receive at least two sets of the 2POC, along with an additional set for deployment. The uniforms are distributed to sailors free of charge, just like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2018\/02\/02\/the-navy-is-rolling-out-new-coveralls-finally\/\" target=\"_blank\">Improved Fire Retardant Variant uniform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But unlike that variant uniform, sailors will be able to wear the 2POC while running off-duty errands like stopping at child care or gas stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sailors E-6 and below wear a blue version of the 2POC uniform, while E-7 sailors and above, as well as officers, wear a khaki version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sailors may wear the Navy Working Uniform fleece liner and command ball caps with the 2POC, and may pair it with flight deck jerseys, according to the Navy. Brown undershirts and a black rank tab are worn with both blue and khaki options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy\u2019s search for a flame-retardant uniform like the 2POC kicked off in 2012, after a report determined the Type I Navy Working Uniform, known as \u201cblueberries\u201d or \u201caquaflauge\u201d was highly flammable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the service has introduced non-flammable options including the the Fire Retardant Variant, the Improved Fire Retardant Variant, and the Type III Navy Working Uniform. The \u201cblueberries\u201d haven\u2019t been in use since 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy started distributing the uniforms in December
