The Air Force announces plans to reorganize its operational capabilities into an “Expeditionary Aerospace Force” with 10 standing Air Expeditionary Forces, or “buckets of capability” available to theater commanders. One objective is to give Air Force people more predictability and stability about deployments overseas.
Aircraft readiness will suffer if Congress does not approve some $1.5 billion worth of spare parts the Air Force requested in its annual Unfunded Priorities List, sent to Capitol Hill last week, Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin said.
