ClearedHot Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Scuttlebutt only at this point but I've heard ACC, AMC and GSC all go away and a new MAJCOM called "Combat Forces will be formed encompassing everything from Fighters, Bombers, Tankers, and Air Mobility in one giant dysfunctional command. Sounds like a giant flashback to the Composite Wings under good ole Merrill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that will get rid of a bunch super-duper Command Chiefs, my last base before I retired had 4 guys make Chief in the Sq. They all got order's to Minot, Osan, Kunsan and Oman. All of them chose to retire, service before self lost its luster to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build smaller aircraft so children and midgets can fly them. Every aircraft would cost 7/8s cheaper to build. Smaller life support equipment, less beans to feed them, smaller tents and etcetera = less of a footprint. They would be labeled MKSs Midget Killer Squadrons Pure aerial badasses but in a 1/8 scale. This won't happen because it's cheaper and the military industrial companies will make less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTS of folks will be running for the exits. OBTW, they've also realized that the USAF isn't only made up of "service-retained" assets, so the wunderkind working on this one still have a big question mark on some of those platforms and communities. It's a mess but the good thing is the homework is due in January, so Im sure it'll be fully baked by then (s). Im sure it'll be fine.

What efficiencies or improvements do the powers that be expect to gain as part of this initiative? Are there actual logical thought processes behind what they're trying to accomplish or this change for the sake of change (and promotions).

And I think “Old” for a tanker or bomber is different than “Old” for a fighter. The AF has reluctantly come around to my way of thinking and will purchase some F-15EX. I always thought that Big Blue should have taken advantage of the continuing product and design improvements that Boeing and Lockheed have done on the F-15 and F-16 lines and sold overseas and have been replacing older airframes in their block groups.

Chuck Maybe they can mix it up and make non combatants sq/cc s, something like LRS or Finance dudes leading flying squadrons.

The AF has reluctantly come around to my way of thinking and will purchase some F-15EX. Old aircraft can still be used effectively. I flew a few Hueys that flew missions in Nam. One still had sheet metal repairs from bullet holes....from Nam. No shit. The Huey flew like a champion! It's the P-51 of helicopters. All hands on. No automation at all. I have landed that thing in some gnarly places. Edited December 17, 2023 by Biff_T Afterthought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't have so many staffs, we don't have to man them, and all those non-command track O-4 and O-5 IPs can go back to flying the line!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
