The Air Force is crowdsourcing Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein’s push to revitalize the squadrons. The service on Monday unveiled an “idea website” to solicit input from airmen. The site requires a Common Access Card to view and gives airmen the chance to share challenges they face and vote on ideas to help revitalize squadrons. The push, announced by Goldfein in September, has included a team that visited 12 bases and has interviewed more than a thousand airmen, according to an Air Force release.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
