The Air Force Secretary Public Affairs reports, “The Air Force responded to the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force’s recommendations in a report to Congress today. Of the Commission’s 42 recommendations, the Air Force disagreed with only one and is already in the process of implementing 25, and as well as developing plans or pilot programs for another 16.
“The disestablishment of the Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command was the only recommendation in which the Air Force disagreed with the Commission. Elimination of the AFRC would not result in substantial savings, as nine different Major Commands would have to assume the roles and responsibilities currently accomplished by HQ AFRC. Additionally, the current structure allows the Chief of the Air Force Reserve to manage AFR authorized and appropriated resources as required by key statutory obligations.”
