Air Force Materiel Command has issued reduction-in-force notices to 96 civilians that work at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The base already had approved 187 early retirements or separations. Both actions are part of the command’s share of the Air Force-wide reduction of about 2,000 civilians in Fiscal 2007. The RIF notices at Wright-Patt include 33 separations, 21 reductions in grade, and 42 reassignments. All the actions take effect Oct. 1.
A group of 55 Democratic lawmakers from the House and the Senate released a letter Jan. 26, urging President Joe Biden to declare a “no first use” policy for nuclear arms and to roll back the U.S.’s “reliance on nuclear weapons” in the Pentagon’s forthcoming Nuclear Posture Review.
