JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. (AFNS) — The Department of Air Force has initiated the reassignment of combat air forces advanced intelligence formal training units from Air Education and Training Command to Air Combat Command. This strategic move, overseen by Gen. Adrian Spain, commander of ACC, and Lt. Gen. Clark Quinn, commander of AETC, will be a streamlined process designed to align intelligence Airmen directly with combat-focused missions. The reassignment will enable the Distributed Common Ground System and Targeting IFTUs and the Contingency Intelligence Network Intelligence Initial Qualification Course to deliberately integrate operational training courses with operational units. Air Force IFTUs specialize in developing operational proficiency for intelligence Airmen. These units provide system and mission-specific training, ensuring a seamless transition from foundational skills to combat-readiness. Directed by Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink, the reassignment leverages ACC’s resources and expertise as the Air Force lead for the Distributed Common Ground System and Combat Air Intelligence Systems. This initiative is expected to enhance readiness, match training with combat requirements and optimize all associated training resources. “By reassigning our intelligence formal training units to Air Combat Command, we are shrinking the gap between the classroom and the battlespace,” said Brig. Gen.…
