President Barack Obama and Congress created the commission upon realizing the Air Force was going to be facing a decline in revenue and resources in the near future. Lt. Gen. McCarthy said the group is travelling to bases around the country to take a look at more than just infrastructure. “We go to the bases more to see the people than the facilities,” he said.
The commission will meet with service members on-base next week for several round table meetings, but officials couldn’t identify which specific units they will sit down with.
Lt. Gen. McCarthy said their goal is to make sure the branch is appropriately staffed while operating on a tighter budget.
