The U.S. Air Force Secretary announced a new initiative to enhance how the Air and Space Forces prepare against potential threats from China. This comprehensive review, to be led by the Department of the Air Force’s senior leadership, aims to improve operations, organization, equipment, and training. Changes are planned to begin implementation by January 2024, in response to China’s significant advancements in modernizing its forces over the past two decades.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Department of the Air Force is initiating a review to optimize organization, training, equipment, and mission execution in the context of potential conflicts with China.
  2. Five teams will focus on areas including department organization, force equipment, personnel recruitment and training, readiness, and support for operational air and space missions.
  3. China’s rapid modernization of its air and naval forces poses a significant threat, with capabilities targeting key U.S. assets like aircraft carriers and airfields.
  4. Recent Air Force transformations include new command structures and the creation of multi-capable airmen. However, more enhancements are deemed necessary.
  5. Air Force Secretary Kendall emphasized the need for a prompt budget approval by Congress and highlighted a proposal that would allow the military to initiate vital new programs even before a budget is sanctioned.
