USAF’s Second Air Force has a new commander. He is Maj. Gen. Michael Gould, a fighter pilot who assumed command last week. Headquartered at Keesler AFB, Miss., 2nd AF is the service’s second-largest command, managing much of USAF’s extensive training program. Some 225,000 airmen graduate annually from its programs. Gould replaces Lt. Gen. Chip Utterback.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
