Changing World Begets a New USAF Mission Statement:
Air Force leaders have revamped the service’s mission statement (we reported they would). Gen. Michael Moseley, Air Force Chief of Staff, and Michael Wynne, Air Force Secretary, co-signed a letter, stating that “now more than ever we need [the mission] to be clear and precise.” The new statement says USAF must “deliver sovereign options … to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.”
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
