Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley has assigned homework to his major command chiefs for their Corona Top meeting in June. Moseley wants to know from Air Combat Command’s Gen. Ronald Keys just exactly how many more battlefield airmen Keys will need to proportionately integrate with the newly enlarging Army and Marine Corps. From Air Mobility Command boss Gen.
