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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
