The Air Force’s Top Six Imperatives For The Biden Years (From Forbes)

The stars seem to be aligning for Air Force modernization during the Biden years. The new administration is seating a team to seasoned and like-minded acquisition officials who understand the intricacies of the service’s key investment programs.

I have written a commentary summarizing the logic to each imperative here.
