The Air Force is placing its services and manpower and personnel career fields under one overarching boss. Officials say there will be no visible change at the base level, since the two functional areas will remain separate. The move is another in the service’s efficiency efforts—the Air Force Smart Operations 21 process improvement program.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
