Changing World Begets a New USAF Mission Statement: Air Force leaders have revamped the service’s mission statement (we reported they would). Gen. Michael Moseley, Air Force Chief of Staff, and Michael Wynne, Air Force Secretary, co-signed a letter, stating that “now more than ever we need [the mission] to be clear and precise.” The new statement says USAF must “deliver sovereign options … to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.”
The Air National Guardsman who was arrested last year for sharing hundreds of top secret and classified documents to online chatrooms was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison on Nov. 12 after pleading guilty to several charges this March.
