Posted By: Oriana Pawlyk November 10, 2017
Facing a shortage of maintainers as well as pilots, the Air Force is giving staffing priority to air combat units with high operations tempo, the service’s head of operations said Thursday.
Lt. Gen. Mark C. Nowland, deputy chief of staff for operations for the service at the Pentagon, said experienced maintainers are being reshuffled throughout the force, with an emphasis on combat-coded units. The service has recently turned to contractors to fill gaps in training units and other areas.
