The Air Force wants to have 85 percent of personnel transactions by airmen conducted via the Web—no more treks to the local personnel office. To help enable this wonderful new world, the Air Force plans to reorganize base personnel functions under an initiative called PSD, or Personnel Services Delivery. McConnell AFB, Kan., will be testing PSD for about six months. What’s it all about? For starters, some squadrons will become flights; family support centers will become airmen and family readiness flights; and force development flights will comprise career assistance advisors, PME and other education, and first-term airman centers.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
