Should the Air Force Institute of Technology in Dayton consolidate with its Navy counterpart in Monterey? The BRAC Commission raised that question.

The Pentagon agreed on that and the issue of privatization. Martin said some things are “ready-made” for privatization, others merely “sound good.”
The Air Force achieved its goal of recruiting 32,750 Active-Duty enlisted Airmen for 2026 five months ahead of schedule, military officials said this week—its biggest recruiting year in more than two decades.
