PACAF Between War and Peace

摘要

When Gen. Carrol H. Chandler took command of Pacific Air Forces last November, he retained as his own the top priorities of his predecessor, Gen. Paul V. Hester. He did this for two fundamental reasons. First, Chandler thought PACAF was already headed in the right direction. Second, he said, "There was no reason to create more turmoil." He explained, "This was an effort to 'freeze the stick' around the priorities that people had been working on for almost three years."
