The head of Air Combat Command, Gen. Ronald Keys, tells the Newport News Daily Press that ACC is “cash-flowing” its operations because the war in Iraq is costing the command $200 million a month and it has to wait for Congressional approvals of supplementals to pay the bills. And, that’s not all. Keys says he is eyeing a “train wreck” with the coming reductions in personnel. He expects ACC’s share of the overall 40,000 to be around 12,000.
Maj. Gen. Larry Broadwell, deputy commander of the 16th Air Force, used an elaborate, sports-themed analogy for understanding information warfare at the AFA Warfare Symposium.
