The board, chaired by Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz , discussed the stand up of the provisional headquarters for the new Air Force Global Strike Command at its temporary location at Bolling Air Force Base, D.C., as well as manning for new organizations, streamlining the inspection process and other milestones supporting the command, which is planned to reach initial operating capability in September 2009. "Reinvigorating the Air Force nuclear enterprise is our top priority," Secretary Donley said.
