CMSAF James Cody will retire at the beginning of next year, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein announced Tuesday. “I’ve watched Chief Cody in action,” Goldfein said at ASC16. “I have watched him fight for airmen at the highest levels of government.” Air Force senior leadership will convene at Corona next month and will begin the search for Cody’s replacement, he said. Cody has served as Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force since January 2013.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
