The Pentagon has returned
control of 10 of the 21 major acquisition programs that it had removed from USAF authority last year. Oddly, it was the new Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, in his previous role as head of DOD acquisition, who revoked—temporarily—the Air Force’s milestone decision authority. The reason given at the time was leadership transition within the Air Force, whose Secretary, Undersecretary, and top acquisition official had resigned. Pentagon officials
did not say why all 21 programs were not returned to USAF authority. Here is a list of the
programs still under DOD purview.
