Iran Press/ America: The incoming USAF chief of staff, Charles Brown Jr., stated that the next possible "future war" involving the US will look very different from the many wars waged by Washington in the last 20 years. A future armed conflict against a near-peer adversary, possibly Russia or China, would "not remain far from our shores" and would be more "akin to the World War II era", Brown alleged in his program paper for the military branch, according to Sputnik.
In order to prepare for a conflict, the Air Force would have to say goodbye to some of its old strategies and equipment, as well as older programmes, to embrace relevant technology and strategies, he opined. This is ever more important for the branch, considering that its budget is likely to be limited compared to previous years.
"Likely future budget pressures will require the most difficult force structure decisions in generations. We cannot shy away from these decisions. [Previous decisions] do not deliver the outcomes we need today due to the rapidly-changing elements of the competitions with China and Russia", Brown asserted.
