The Air Force’s top two leaders have issued a new “Letter to Airmen” that says, “Sexual assault is a crime and will be treated as such in our Air Force.” They issued the letter in concert with Sexual Assault Awareness Month, noting the “significant strides” the service has made over the past year to prevent and respond to sexual assault.
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.
