☆ Air National Guard leaders say proposal to move units to Space Force poses 'existential threat' to US national security

The US Air National Guard rebuke a proposal to shift space mission units to the Space Force. "Our internal survey indicates about 70% of our personnel would retrain or retire rather than join the Space Force," Air Force Col. Michael Griesbaum, commander of the Alaska Air National Guard's 168th Wing, told reporters Friday.

"If LP 480 is successful, it will open the door to a wholesale harvesting of National Guard resources, both from the Air National Guard and the Army National Guard to the regular components."

☆ Nearly five decades after the fall of Saigon, U.S. will help Vietnam boost its military capabilities

"The United States is committed to continuing to assist Vietnam to develop its self-reliant defense capabilities in accordance with the needs of Vietnam and established mechanism.". Biden said the move represented how much relations have moved on from the "bitter past" of the Vietnam War. "We can trace a 50-year arc of progress between our nations, from conflict to normalization, to this new elevated status," Biden said Sunday. "Vietnam and the United States are critical partners at what I would argue is a very critical time," Biden said. "We think too much in Cold War terms," Biden said.

☆ The stealth F-22 Raptor's days are numbered, and the Air Force is officially looking for designs for the fighter jet's next-gen replacement
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The Air Force is officially seeking designs for the next-gen fighter to replace the F-22 Raptor. "We will lose that edge if we don't move forward now," Frank Kendall, Air Force secretary, said. "No one does this better than the US Air Force, but we will lose that edge if we don't move forward now." There are two of these sixth-generation projects currently underway, one for the Air Force and the other for the Navy. The Air Force has pushed for the retirement of some earlier F-22s, but it has received pushback from Congress.
☆ An A-10 squadron is loading up with a lot more bombs for a new mission even as the Air Force tries to get rid of its attack planes
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A-10 Warthog attack planes are getting a new mission in the Middle East and more bombs. Air Force leadership has been trying for years to retire its aging fleet of Warthogs. It's not immediately clear how many A-10s are being sent to the Middle East, as squadrons can vary in size. These guided air-to-surface munitions, which can hit fixed and stationary targets, weigh 250 pounds and have a range of over 46 miles, according to an Air Force fact sheet.

☆ No imminent threat of China invading Taiwan, says senior U.S. official

REUTERS/Edgar SuSINGAPORE, March 23 (Reuters) - The United States does not see an imminent threat of China invading Taiwan but is ready to defend the self-ruled island, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday in Singapore. "Anyone who contemplates an act of aggression that would involve the United States is making a very serious mistake," he said. Kendall said China has done "a number of things that are fairly aggressive", including "militarising" the South China Sea, the strategic trade corridor in which several countries have overlapping claims. China claims most of the waterway as its territory and has said the United States is the biggest driver of militarisation in the region. The Chinese military said on Thursday it monitored and drove away a U.S. destroyer that had illegally entered waters around the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.
