The Air Force has selected Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Riemer to be the new acquisition boss for the F-22A Raptor program. Riemer, who has been serving as commander of the Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB, Fla., and USAF’s program executive officer for weapons, will move to the Pentagon as F-22 PEO. Replacing Riemer at AAC is Brig. Gen. David Eidsaune, who has been leading the Air Force Security Assistance Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
The defense intelligence community has tried three times in the past decade to build a “common intelligence picture”—a single data stream providing the information that commanders need to make decisions about the battlefield. The first two attempts failed. But officials say things are different today.
