Lt. Gen. Charles Stenner Jr., Air Force Reserve chief, said Tuesday he is relocating next month from the Washington, D.C., area where he has maintained a headquarters to Robins AFB, Ga., home of Air Force Reserve Command, the major command that he also heads. “That doesn’t mean anything goes away up here” in terms of his responsibilities as the Reserve chief, he told attendees at AFA’s 2009 Air & Space Conference. Rather, it’s just the desire to collocate the AFRC commander at the major command headquarters.
