The
Air Force met its recruiting goals for April, matching its plan to attract 2,435 new accessions, according to figures that the Department of Defense released May 12. In fact, all of the services met or exceeded their goals for the month, once again dispelling fears of a slow recruiting year. And for the third month in a row, the Air National Guard exceeded its goals, attracting an additional 203 recruits. The Air Force Reserve surpassed its goal by one recruit.
Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Schiess will be nominated by President Donald Trump as the next Chief of Space Operations, the service’s top uniformed leader, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
