The Air Force has already started adjusting some of its Middle East-focused aircraft and jobs to confront China.
Retired Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote offers his take on what it will take for the Air Force to implement big changes announced this week.
The United States Department of the Air Force announced that it requires a major overhaul of its force posture, and will make "sweeping" changes to reshape both the Air Force and the Space to meet the challenges that lay ahead. In other words, the United States Air Force needs to think about a future conflict and not be built around how it has operated in past wars.
Under the "reoptimizing" effort, changes are coming across the Department of the Air Force, from new training approaches to the establishment of high-level offices.
The U.S. Air Force will stand up a new command focused on creating requirements for future systems.
