The Air Force is committed to reviewing and reducing additional duties where they can, said CMSAF James Cody at ASC16. “A lot of effort is being focused right now” on two areas that impact every airman: ancillary training and computer-based training, he told a group of reporters on Wednesday. The Air Force plans to eliminate and redistribute some of those duties wherever they can, he said, and he is “optimistic that the review of the ancillary training and CBT will produce a greater net affect on the majority of airmen.”
The Pentagon’s new counter-drone task force will play a direct role in arming Airmen with new weapons to defend Air Force agile combat employment, or ACE, air bases in austere locations against enemy drone attacks, the director of Joint Interagency Task Force 401 said Oct. 14.
