A comprehensive readiness review of all the combat air forces, as well as a companion training review, will be complete in time for the Corona South meeting of USAF four-stars soon after the first of the year, Gen. William Fraser, head of Air Combat Command, said Wednesday at AFA’s Air & Space Conference. Fraser told reporters that the review will help decide a range of issues including the specific structural and capability upgrades needed for legacy fighters to remain relevant and capable throughout the remainder of their service lives.
Much more Space Force enabling all aspects of the Joint force, but perhaps still crewed fighters and stealthy transports are among the forecasts outgoing Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall made in a new report to Congress.
