The Air Force has reversed its decision to cut special pays. Now it believes it can avert “any financial losses to our airmen,” because of revised budget estimates and reductions in the numbers of airmen eligible for the special duty assignment pay, says Lt. Col. Ken Sersun, deputy chief of force management at the Pentagon, in a Sept. 19 release.
The Air Force must better explain Agile Combat Employment concepts, align training standards, and address staff shortages to be ready to implement the strategy, according to a new report by the federally funded RAND Corporation.
