The anti-terror war that the Air Force is waging from forward operating locations might well be called a "two-through-five war," asserts USAF's top logistics officer. Lt. Gen. Michael E. Zettler, deputy chief of staff for installations and logistics, reports that he has made many visits to bases now being used for Operation Enduring Freedom. What was most striking, he said, was the performance of those airmen with two, three, four, or five stripes on their sleeves. These ranks―airman first class through technical sergeant―were "the heart and soul" of the job, said Zettler. The general was quick to say that his observation is not meant to detract from the effort of senior noncommissioned officers and officers, who have provided advanced technical skills, management, and leadership.
