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 Air Force is targeting August 2027 for its new T-7A Red Hawk trainer jet to reach its initial operational capability. To get there, the head of Air and Education Training has three milestones he needs to see the program hit.
