The Air Force may be backing off its plan to cut about 30 general officers as part of its overall effort to cut some 40,000 people by the end of Fiscal 2009. A service official said that Air Force leaders believe the service needs more star power in joint billets. There is no official word yet on just how many generals will be cut.
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
