Congress given more control over Air Force’s reorganization plans

Apr. 5—Members of Congress are directing Air Force leaders to offer more details on a plan to position the service to better compete with China, eying possible impacts on military installations and local jobs.

In the recent appropriations package Congress passed, and President Biden signed into law, an amendment expands the oversight role of Congress as the Air Force continues what leaders call a “re-optimization” to compete in a new strategic environment.

Chief among the proposed changes would be the creation of an Integrated Capabilities Command, led by a three-star general, which would identify the Air Force’s future needs.

Language approved by the Appropriations Committee and passed out of Congress last month says that, to date, the Air Force has “not provided thorough justification for this reorganization, a comprehensive implementation plan or detailed budgetary information necessary for the subcommittees to assess this plan.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
