Lt. General Alexander M. Sloan
1991-1994
The uniform was named after General Merrill A. Mc Peak, the fifteenth Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force - 30 October 1990 to 25 October 1994. Since the US Air Force separated from the US Army in 1947, the US Air Force uniform evolved very little. General Mc Peak felt the US Air Force uniform needed a long overdue change of appearance. In 1991, he ordered a change in the style and design of the service dress uniform. The change in style was so profound; the uniform has since become identified to the general.
