Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : Air Force Unveils Major Shake-Up
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Air Force has begun a major shake-up designed to cut headquarters bureaucracies and bolster the power of field commanders, Air Force Secretary Donald B. Rice told the annual convention of the Air Force Assn. in Washington. The overhaul merges two of the service’s major attack commands into a single unit, and remolds the transportation command so that it can respond more quickly to regional threats around the world. Officials did not offer an overall figure for cost-savings.
