The Air Force has decided to shift responsibility for the Air and Space Expeditionary Force Center from Air Combat Command to the Air Force Personnel Center. The paper change—no movement from Langley AFB, Va., to Randolph AFB, Tex., indicated at this time—takes effect Aug. 29. The service’s top personnel officer, Lt. Gen. Roger Brady says the move will “allow AFPC total visibility of Air Force requirements spanning home station to the front lines.” Maj. Gen. Anthony Przybyslawski, who ran AEFC as a brigadier general, now heads the Personnel Center. Col. Brian Kelly currently heads the expeditionary center.
Dozens of fighter jets gathered at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida last week to kick off one of the service’s biggest air combat exercises despite the government shutdown. More than 50 aircraft and 500 personnel are participating in Checkered Flag 26-1.
