Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall announced the Air Task Force as the next step in the Air Force's Force Generation model during the Air and Space Forces Association's 2023 Air, Space and Cyber Conference, Sept. 11 in National Harbor, Maryland.
"Major initiatives in the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, such as Air Force Force Generation in the Air Force and the evolving allocations of responsibility across Space Force field commands are moves in the right direction," Kendall said. "On Friday, I approved the Air Force creation of three Air Task Forces to serve as pilots in order to experiment with ways to more effectively provide deployable, integrated units - two for U.S. Central Command and one for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command … they are a major step in the right direction, and we will learn from this experience."
As part of an ongoing effort to build high-end readiness for the future, the Air Force continues to evolve the way it presents its forces through the AFFORGEN model.
