The Air Force’s leadership will convene one of its tri-annual summits later this week, this time at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Lt. Col. Adrian Craig, spokeswoman for Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, told the Daily Report yesterday that this “Corona Top” meeting is expected to be about a day and a half event where the leadership will discuss the state of the Air Force with senior USAF generals from the combatant commands and the service’s own major commands and plot the course of future changes.
The Air Force is putting emphasis on operations and maintenance and research and development. The Army and Navy want to go on a buying spree. The Space Force budget is approaching and may yet surpass the Marine Corps. And non-service “Defense-Wide” funding got the biggest bump of all.
