ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  This spring some reservists are moving to other states to take Air Force Reserve Command senior office assignments while others are staying in their local areas and moving up in the command.

Brig. Gen. Howard N. Thompson was mobilization assistant to the Air Force chief of staff in the Pentagon until March when he moved in the 'building" to become deputy to the chief of Air Force Reserve.

Col. Richard W. Scobee took command of the 301st Fighter Wing at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, in a ceremony April 5. Colonel Scobee previously commanded the 944th FW at Luke AFB, Ariz.
