Moseley: Air Force’s job won’t get easier

SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  The Air Force chief of staff told visitors at Capitol Hill Club in the nation’s capital April 4 the service will face serious challenges in the coming years.

However, Gen. T. Michael Moseley said the service will use all its capabilities to continue its joint warfighting efforts while going through a massive recapitalization.

The general said one of the challenges the Air Force faces is that it makes the job it does look easy. That makes the American public think it’s easy, too.

“That’s a challenge for us,” he said. “By culture and tradition, just like in the Army, we normally don’t whine about any of this. We don’t complain about any of this. We just execute the task.”

But doing that task will be inherently more difficult in the coming years as the Air Force undergoes a top-to-bottom transition, he said.
