Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley penned a new letter to airmen last week, extolling the heritage of the service as it begins commemoration of its 60 anniversary, Sept. 18, 2007. They note that the Oct. 14 dedication of the “long overdue” Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va., will honor air and space pioneers, the “700,000 airmen who serve today across our Total Force and the millions yet to serve.”
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
