Senate Armed Services Committee ranking minority member, Sen. Carl Levin, wants to see the data that led the Air Force to its decision to retire 38 B-52 bombers. He asked Gen. Michael Moseley whether the Air Force had done “a cost benefit or other analysis” before making the decision to “significantly reduce the B-52 fleet?” Levin requested a copy, if it exists, for the committee. To which, the Chief of Staff replied, “Absolutely, sir.”
A major South Carolina military base that serves as a key Air Force logistics hub was renamed after the late Sen. Lindsey Graham on Aug. 10 in a ceremony led by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Graham’s sister, Sen. Darline Graham.
