The Air Force has decided to shift responsibility for the Air and Space Expeditionary Force Center from Air Combat Command to the Air Force Personnel Center. The paper change—no movement from Langley AFB, Va., to Randolph AFB, Tex., indicated at this time—takes effect Aug. 29. The service’s top personnel officer, Lt. Gen. Roger Brady says the move will “allow AFPC total visibility of Air Force requirements spanning home station to the front lines.” Maj. Gen. Anthony Przybyslawski, who ran AEFC as a brigadier general, now heads the Personnel Center. Col. Brian Kelly currently heads the expeditionary center.
Amid NATO’s continued push to ramp up air defenses in Eastern Europe, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall swung by seven allied countries to boost relations last week, including those on Russia’s and Ukraine’s doorstep.
