He conceived and built the Air Force’s aggressive and fully integrated congressional engagement game plan, which substantially increased the Air Force presence, visibility, and effectiveness on Capitol Hill, promoting our ability to relay the Air Force story to Congress. General Moseley was directly responsible for securing continued congressional support for weapon systems including the F-22 Raptor and the Joint Strike Fighter, guaranteeing superiority for the next 50 years of tactical aviation. He was responsible for preparing the Secretary of the Air Force, the Under Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force for an unprecedented 170 congressional meetings and 100 major congressional hearings of national and international significance. The singularly distinctive accomplishments of General Moseley reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
