Maj. Gen. Michael Keltz has been tapped to lead 19th Air Force, which officially stood up on Oct. 1, after being inactivated in 2012. Keltz previously served as director of intelligence, operations, and nuclear integration at Air Education and Training Command Headquarters at JBSA-Randolph, Texas. In his new position, Keltz will oversee all formal aircrew flying training missions, which will now fall under the numbered air force. (Pentagon release.)
