'Today's Air Force' features chief of staff first-year reflections

  • Published
In this edition of "Today's Air Force," the chief of staff of the Air Force reflects on his first year on the job, the Global Positioning System gets a high tech upgrade, and Airmen turn to a new program in Iraq to get help dealing with combat stress.

Major changes have taken place across the Air Force in the short time since Gen. Norton Schwartz became chief of staff.  In an interview with Tech. Sgt. Steve German, General Schwartz talks about deployments, technology and transformation for the future.

Air Force officials have retired the Delta II Expendable Launch Vehicle after decades of reliable service, but not before one final mission to complete vital upgrades to the Global Positioning System.

A new program down range is making it easier for Airmen to get access to the help they need when dealing with the stresses of combat.
