JCTMI Overview

Purpose: Comprehensive path forward with pooled resources and integrated 

efforts across the Services to manage and capitalize on technological 

advancements (i.e., digital repository, body scanning) that impact the C&T 

acquisition lifecycle. 

Objectives:

• Digital transformation and decision support 

capability

• Cross service coordination and commonality

• Improved internal operations 

• Increased operational readiness (agile 

acquisition)

• Improved supply chain communication 

(availability, quality, response)

• Reduced logistical burden (inventory 

utilization / better fit)

Ensuring warfighters receive the right uniform, with the right fit, at the right time, to 

ensure mission success.

SIZE STANDARDIZATION/ SIZE MODERNIZATION:

• Contract awarded July 2023 for extended sizing (20-26) for female sailors 

• Size standardization tools (fit forms, block patterns, 3D avatars, body growth and garment grade)

• Phase I complete Nov 2023 – fit type proposal

• National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) - Azimuth Course at University of Rhode Island

 “ Past, Present and Future of Uniform Sizing Naming Conventions for the Department of Defense”

NAVSUP NAVY LOGISTICS PRODUCTIVITY R&D:

• FY22/23 – Maternity Pattern Growth Analysis

• FY23/24 – Validating the Reduction of Size Blur with New Proposed Sizing System

• FY24 (6 months) – Block Pattern Implementation Strategy

ON-GOING SYNERGYSTIC EFFORTS:

• Participation in multi-service block pattern validation

Army – JBLM, Washington and Ft. Liberty, North Carolina 

Numeric blocks female warfighters, alpha blocks - male and female warfighters

USAF – Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

Fit Assessment & Evaluation

• Assessed and evaluated three (3) utility uniforms on the 

same individual

1. Army Combat Uniform (ACU)

2. Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform (IHWCU)

3. Advanced Aircrew Combat Uniform (A2CU & A2CU-F)

 Total Number of Participants= 297

 202 Females

 93 Males

• Analyzed the data and presented results to Army

• NEXT STEP: share results/recommendation with Joint 

Service IPT as part of effort to standardize the fit
