Lt. Gen. Frank Gorenc has been confirmed by the Senate to take the reins as commander of US Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa at Ramstein AB, Germany. Officials with the command announced the news on July 2, although the Senate's action came several days prior, according to the Senate's website. "I have roots in Europe and as an airman have been fortunate enough to spend three tours there, most recently as the commander of 3rd Air Force," said Gorenc, who has been the Air Force's assistant vice chief of staff since April 2012. President Obama tapped Gorenc in June to lead at Ramstein, filling the void created when Gen. Philip M. Breed-love left in May to become NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, and head of US European Command. In his new post, Gorenc will also lead NATO's Allied Air Command at Ramstein and the nearby Joint Air Power Competence Center.
