The Air Force has selected Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Riemer to be the new acquisition boss for the F-22A Raptor program. Riemer, who has been serving as commander of the Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB, Fla., and USAF’s program executive officer for weapons, will move to the Pentagon as F-22 PEO. Replacing Riemer at AAC is Brig. Gen. David Eidsaune, who has been leading the Air Force Security Assistance Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
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.
