The acting commander of Air Force Space Command, Lt. Gen. Frank G. Klotz, told a House Armed Services subcommittee that the establishment of the Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., has delivered a “new era in providing space combat effects to joint warfighters around the world.” He said that the JSpOC serves as a “one-stop shop” for all DOD space capabilities by integrating joint assets and improving US and allied combat capabilities.
The Air Force overall reduced its size by 120 aircraft in fiscal year 2021, but kept about the same number of fighter, bomber and attack aircraft, according to data supplied by the service. The F-35 fleet saw the biggest increase while the B-1B bomber fleet saw the largest decline.
