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.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
