CMSAF James Roy said training is the one thing that keeps him up at night. “This one concerns me the most,” said Roy Wednesday during AFA’s Air & Space Conference in National Harbor, Md. As DOD works through efficiency initiatives and goes through reducing its budget, he explained, the tendency will be “to eliminate some of our training.” Roy maintained, “We are risking our future if we do that.” It’s vital the Air Force remains focused on both initial training as well as upgrade training, he said.
In an effort to improve connectivity aboard Air Force tanker and mobility aircraft, the Pentagon’s commercial technology innovation unit wants a system to install new applications on aircraft, such as a moving map display that helps aircrew see through the fog of war.
