The Air Force is placing its services and manpower and personnel career fields under one overarching boss. Officials say there will be no visible change at the base level, since the two functional areas will remain separate. The move is another in the service’s efficiency efforts—the Air Force Smart Operations 21 process improvement program.
Lt. Gen. Stephen L. Davis, the Department of the Air Force’s top internal watchdog, has been nominated to lead Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the service’s bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
