The Air Force’s senior leadership began a “Corona Top” summit Wednesday at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. This gathering is one of the service’s tri-annual powwows of senior USAF generals from the unified combatant commands and the service’s own major commands. The uniformed leadership meets to discuss the major issues facing the service and plot future changes. The talks at Corona Top will center on ongoing operations and budgetary issues, Lt. Col. Adriane Craig, spokeswoman for Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, tells the Daily Report. The summit runs through the end of the week.
A provision in the fiscal 2025 defense policy bill will require the Defense Department to include the military occupational specialty of service members who die by suicide in its annual report on suicide deaths, though it remains to be seen how much data the department will actually disclose.
