Air Force Times reports that “the US Air Force has submitted a congressionally mandated report on force structure and integration between the active, Air National Guard and Reserve components, but work is already underway for the next wave of analysis on three key mission areas.”  

“The report represents the service’s official response to 42 suggestions laid out by the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force, a congressionally formed panel that submitted its final report more than a year ago.”  

“In charge of the response to Congress was the Total Force Continuum, a full-time group of one-star generals. An annual update on the progress of these recommendations is required by the service through 2019, based on congressional language.”
