Gen. Ronald E. Keys, head of Air Combat Command, voiced his views recently, saying that he has five focus areas: people, expeditionary operations, recapitalization, organization, and transformation. Key to his plan for recapitalization, he says, is creating “fiscal headroom.” To do that he wants ACC airmen to “understand what we can stop doing—what we can just walk away from.”
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.
