***image1***Gen. William T. Hobbins assumed command of U.S. Air Forces in Europe
from Gen. Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong Monday at a ceremony on Ramstein AB.
General Hobbins, who previously worked as Warfighting Deputy Chief of
Staff for Warfighting Integration, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, and
acting Chief of Information Officer for the office of the Secretary of
the Air Force, will begin his term as USAFE commander just five years
after he last left the command as its director of Aerospace Operations.
“Robbin and I are absolutely thrilled to be back in Germany,” the
general said. “We look forward to rekindling the friendships we
shared just a few short years ago.”
During Monday’s ceremony, General Hobbins shared his admiration for the
command’s previous commander, as well as spoke of his plans for the
future.
“In my last function, I found inspiration in the understanding that
decision superiority is not narrowly about technology, but broadly
about the emerging military response to the information age,”
