Q. Your predecessor, Lt. Gen. Allen Peck, restructured AU. How is that working?
A. We effectively — and it was really in the name of trying to achieve manpower efficiencies and the like — cut down on redundant headquarters staff. We basically reorganized into six centers and a couple of institutes. .... This reorganization is three years old and it’s time to make sure that the reorganization is working to ensure that there are not additional efficiencies out there that could be realized. So I’ve just established a working group to take kind of a relook at that major reorganization.
Q. Air University has started a doctoral program. Where’s that at?
A. All of the major hurdles have been crossed, the most important being endorsement from our Department of Education. … It will be a doctorate in philosophy in military strategy. It actually builds upon the program we have here at the School of Air and Space Studies. The SASS degree has been renamed from a Master of Arts to a Master of Philosophy in military strategy. For those who do well … the cutoff is an A-minus kind of grade-point average, but for those who do well and basically express an interest in pursuing a doctorate, they will graduate from SASS. But instead of graduating with a [Master of Philosophy] in military strategy, they will graduate with an ABD — all but dissertation. They will effectively graduate with an ABD, go back into their career fields, get back to the operational Air Force, but at a later date, they will likely have the opportunity go off on a fellowship.So instead of doing your traditional Air War College or National War College resident program, they will go off on a fellowship and use that year to complete their dissertation, to defend their dissertation, and then hopefully be awarded at the end of it all a doctorate in philosophy in military strategy. The only thing we’re waiting now is for the final notification of [Office of the Secretary of Defense] to Congress to make it official.
