Article Abstract:

The stakes are high for the United States Air Force (USAF), which expects to evaluate 51,500 jobs for possible outsourcing by decade's end. If this move produces monetary savings, the service would be in a position to finance new personnel spaces in areas of shortage, such as security police, intelligence specialists, and combat controllers.

Article Abstract:

Military depots, since the end of the cold War, have struggled to find a role in a downsized U.S. Defense Department. Gen. Gregory S. Martin, commander of US Air Forces in Europe says that it is only after the 9/11 terrorist attack that they have become 'engaged, responsive, and forward thinking'.
