It tells what the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are supposed to do. It also tells about the jobs of the- unified and specified commarid8,such'as GONAD "and SAC. Most important, it tells what each Service is supposed to do. The idea behind it is to have each Service specialize in some kind of war fare. It tells how each Service should stick to its specialty and how it should help the other Services in jobs that are not their specialties The reason for this is to prevent the kind of duplication and over lapping that wastes defense money and weakens the fighting force, Its purpose, in about five words, is to achieve EFFECTIVENESS ECONOMY, SPECIALIZATION, and UNIFIED 'CONTROL. What you should look for first in the regulation is the list of jobs assigned to the Air Force. But you have to go a little farther, You have to look at the jobs assigned to the other Services, too.

Where to find it? It's in a regulation, but don't let that scare you off. Most of.it is far from dun reading.

You do? Well, as far as the Air orce is concerned you can stay on for as long as 48 months.
