The Air Force manpower and personnel chief, Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, says that the Air Force is halfway through “the pissed off stage” for its latest personnel drawdown. He means that airmen are coming to grips with the latest major personnel cuts. The Air Force had planned to eliminate 40,000 slots over the next five years, but has recently advanced that from 2011 to 2009. (Read more about personnel cuts from Brady’s AFA Air & Space Conference remarks here.)
The Space Force’s recent contract to Muon Space to repurpose their commercial weather satellites for military use will inform a broader “data-as-a-service” strategy for its space-based environmental monitoring mission.
