Air Force Secretary Michael Donley is stepping down after five years in the job marked by scandals surrounding its aircraft contracts, sexual assaults and the mishandling of war dead. He is credited for improving the service's handling of nuclear materials.
The U.S. Navy has canceled the remainder of the elite Blue Angels demonstration team's 2013 season and the Air Force is grounding about a third of its combat force because of federal budget cuts.
A document obtained by The Associated Press shows that reported sexual assaults at the U.S. military's three academies jumped by 23 percent this year, but the data signaled a continued reluctance by victims to seek criminal investigations.
The Air Force is coming in for criticism over its handling of the remains of America's war dead, including complaints that it has not been upfront about the extent of the problem.
