USAF reorganizes acquisition portfolios to implement Hegseth reforms; names executives for advanced aircraft and nuclear C2

Implements Hegseth’s procurement reforms: the Department of the Air Force created seven mission-aligned acquisition organizations and assigned portfolio executives to oversee programs including advanced aircraft and nuclear command-and-control.

Consolidates program oversight and leadership: the move aligns with recent Air Force acquisition reorganizations and senior nominations that centralize authority over major, high-risk programs, changing where contractors and program offices will now interface for decisions and escalations.
