“They’re getting the job done and they’re proud to do it, but there’s impact over time,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh told reporters on Wednesday. “They’ve been experiencing combat up front for quite some time now, and … you have to pay attention to that.”
Welsh, who is slated to retire on July 1 after 40 years of service, offered the observation during a wide ranging discussion with defense and military writers in Washington, D.C.
“We have some other career fields that have been working very hard, deploying pretty frequently,” he said, “but the folks in AFSOC have borne much of the same traumatic impact of war as the Army and the Marine Corps.”
