The Air Force officially announced that Gen. John Jumper’s retirement ceremony will take place on Sept. 2 at Andrews AFB, Md. The Chief of Staff will cede USAF’s top uniformed spot to Gen. T. Michael Moseley, currently the Vice Chief.
Expanded production of the B-21 bomber can be accomplished at Northrop Grumman's existing Palmdale, Calif., facilities, the Air Force said. It also said test aircraft will be so simular to the production version that early examples could be used in combat if called for.
