Air Force Disagrees With Recommendation To Dissolve Reserve Command

摘要

The Air Force released a report on March 4 that concurs at least partially with all but one recommendation put forth last year by the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force: the commission's call to disestablish Air Force Reserve Command. The one-star general officers who sit on the Air Force's internal Total Force Continuum (TF-C) panel told a small group of reporters this week they're confident Congress will concur with their insistence that Air Force Reserve Command remain intact. "Like many commission reports, Congress will look at them and they may act on them or not," Brig. Gen. Randall Ogden, director of plans and requirements for the Air Force Reserve, told reporters in a March 4 media briefing at the Pentagon. "The initial feedback we've gotten from staffers is that they think they'll be in agreement with us that disestablishment of the Air Force Reserve Command is not a way that we can become more efficient, more effective. It's probably just the opposite."
