CMSAF Gerald Murray has asked USAF’s former top enlisted men to meet to exchange information about future Air Force plans. Eight of the nine living former Chief Master Sergeants of the Air Force will be at the Feb. 13-16 Pentagon gathering. Murray said, “Their wisdom and insight into the lessons of the past are invaluable to me as we continue to move our Air Force into the future.” Murray plans to provide briefings on topics from the Quadrennial Defense Review to personnel matters.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
