Air Force Reserve Command has declared that Reservists must wear the AFRC patch on their flight suits and battle dress uniforms by Oct. 1. The practice does not apply to mobilization assistants, individual mobilization augmentees, or full-time Active Guard Reserve members assigned outside the command.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
