Air Force Space Command says it is getting the word out, per USAF direction, on the rationale and methods to be used for the 2006 Force Shaping Plan that will cut some 4,000 officers. The first stop for Brig. Gen. Robert M. Worley II, AFSPC’s Director of Plans and Programs, was Los Angeles AFB, Calif. He told the Space and Missile Systems Center crowd, “I hope they understand that they have several options for continuing to serve their nation.” Just not in the blue.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
