Pregnant soldiers based in the U.S. may have easier access to maternity uniforms after a recent expansion of a program offering to lend out the garments for free.
The Navy has announced that it's expanding its already existing maternity uniform program to give sailors more input in choosing uniforms that best suit their workplace.

Maj. Diana Halferty, director of operations at the 730th Air Mobility Squadron, is one of the first women stationed at Yokota Air Base to take advantage of the new Maternity Uniform Pilot Program, or “Rent the Camo.”
The U.S. Congress passed the “Rent the Camo: Access to Maternity Wear Act” Bill in 2020, creating this new program that temporarily issues free maternity uniform items to pregnant Airmen and Guardians at ten bases across the Air Force.
