The Air Force has already achieved great synergies by integrating its active duty and reserve components more closely. But Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said Thursday at AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando that he wants more of this. “We need to build on these accomplishments by putting some brainpower against Total Force Integration, part 2,” he said.
