I would also like to note my appreciation that each component of the Air Force is represented today.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And thank you to the witnesses for being here this afternoon.

However, the Air Force is unique in that the demand for its units has increased in recent years while the service has shrank.

While some challenges, such as critical skills shortages, affect each component, they do so differently.
