A 1973 Air Force Academy grad, Lt. Gen. John Regni has taken charge of the academy from which he graduated in 1973, becoming only the second superintendent in the 50 year-history of the school to not wear wings. His career encompasses stints in personnel and training, including command of Air University. Regni replaces Lt. Gen. John Rosa, who is retiring to take the top job at The Citadel in South Carolina.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
