The Air Force’s chief information officer said he wants to see the number of applications running on Air Force networks cut nearly in half. That move could save the service between $600 million and $800 million a year, Lt. Gen. Bill Lord said during a media roundtable in the Pentagon Tuesday. There are about 19,000 applications on Air Force networks today. Lord thinks the service could get that number down to 10,000.
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.
