The French Strategic Air Forces' top officer, Lt. Gen. Paul Fouilland, visited Air Force Global Strike Command here recently as part of a continuing dialogue between the two nations' strategic air forces.
The Global Strike Command commander, Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz, toured French air bases in July to inaugurate what is intended to be a regular series of exchange visits.

"We have a lot in common, and can learn a great deal from each other on the best ways to organize, train and equip the most powerful weapons in our respective air forces."
