The Air Force has taken a “manageable risk” in its military construction account for 2008, Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley said March 29 before the House Appropriations panel charged with milcon oversight. He explained that the Administration’s 2008 budget request “carefully balances our facility operations and maintenance accounts;” however, he added, “It is about as low as we can fund these accounts without mortgaging our future.”
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.
