The
Secretary of the Air Force and the Air and Space Forces service chiefs ordered the review June 2. The measure formalized a step that former
Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David Goldfein raised in an official note to commanders and other senior leaders on June 1 addressing an “apparent inequity in our application of military justice” among other issues. He stated, “We will not shy away from this; as leaders and as Airmen, we will own our part, and confront it head on.”
Subsequently, in an open letter on June 3 to all Airmen and Space Professionals signed by the Air Force Secretary and the two service chiefs, the leadership team highlighted the Department’s self-initiated review and wrote, “We are listening, and we are taking action.”
