    Vol. 55 No. 7 July 2008 Donley in as acting Air Force secretary 6/23/2008 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Michael B. Donley is the new acting secretary of the Air Force, succeeding Michael Wynne, who held the position since November 2005. Mr. Donley was previously the administration and management director for the Secretary of Defense, a position sometimes referred to as “mayor” of the Pentagon. The secretary is responsible for organizing, training, equipping and providing for the welfare of its nearly 323,000 men and women on active duty, 180,000 members of the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve, 160,000 civilians and their families. He oversees an annual budget of approximately $110 billion and ensures the Air Force can meet its current and future operational requirements. Photo by Staff Sgt. J.G.

  • Defense Reforms the Goldwater-Nichols
    Advance Questions for Honorable Michael L. Dominguez Nominee for Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Defense Reforms The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 and the Special Operations reforms have strengthened the warfighting readiness of our Armed Forces. They have enhanced civilian control and clearly delineated the operational chain of command and the responsibilities and authorities of the combatant commanders, and the role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They have also clarified the responsibility of the Military Departments to recruit, organize, train, equip, and maintain forces for assignment to the combatant commanders. In your responses to advance questions prior to your previous nomination hearing on July 31, 2001, you indicated that "there are dynamics today different from 15 years ago that may warrant review of some provisions [of Goldwater- Nichols], such as the personnel assignment rules and how we select joint specialty officers." You expressed an interest in exploring these issues to ensure the services have "sufficient flexibility in the management of our personnel resources in a joint environment." Based on your experience as the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, are there specific modifications to the Goldwater-Nichols Act for which you see a need? The Goldwater-Nichols Act deserves credit for creating a strong framework for today’s joint warfighting capabilities. Two decades of U.S. military successes bear witness to this. However, while operational jointness has matured, the personnel system for Joint Officer Management has not kept pace. In the Global War on Terrorism, members are integrated within Joint Task Force organizations, serving various tour lengths on a rotational basis.

  • Air Force Air Refueling: the KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program
    Order Code RL34398 Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Updated June 23, 2008 William Knight, Christopher Bolkcom, and Daniel H. Else Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Summary KC-X is the first of three planned programs intended to recapitalize the Air Force’s air refueling fleet. Eventually, the KC-X program is expected to acquire 179 new, commercial off-the-shelf airliners modified to accomplish air refueling. The program is expected to cost approximately $35 billion. Both Boeing and a consortium consisting of Northrop Grumman and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) — the parent company of Airbus — were in competition for KC-X. Boeing offered a variant of the 767-200, while Northrop Grumman submitted a version of the Airbus 330-200. On February 29, 2008, the Air Force awarded the KC-X contract to Northrop Grumman. The initial $12.1 billion KC-X contract covers purchase the first 68 KC-45s of the anticipated 179 aircraft. Boeing protested the Air Force’s decision to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). GAO announced its sustainment of the Boeing protest on June 18, 2008. Air Force in-flight aerial refueling aircraft, often referred to as “tankers,” provide both persistence and range to Department of Defense (DOD) fighters, bombers, airlift and surveillance aircraft. As such, the Air Force’s tanker fleet greatly multiplies the effectiveness of DOD air power across the continuum of military operations. Today, the KC-135, which makes up the preponderance of the Air Force’s tanker force, is among the Air Force’s oldest aircraft.
