Air Force eyes 1,600 airmen for possible ‘deploy or get out’ separation
By: Stephen Losey   1 day ago
The Air Force says it may consider about 1,600 non-deployable active-duty airmen for separation under the Defense Department’s new, strict policy on troop readiness.
That number is far lower than might be expected, given the Pentagon’s assessment, announced Oct. 2, that 126,000 total force service members are at risk under the new “deploy or get out†policy announced last year, which formally took effect Oct. 1, the start of the fiscal year.
