JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- Gen. Kevin Schneider, Pacific Air Forces commander, relieved Col. Julie Sposito Salceies, 613th Air Operations Center​ commander, on 16 January 2025 due to loss of confidence in her ability to command the organization.
“​Commanders are held to the highest standards because the Airmen, and the incredibly consequential missions they plan and execute, demand it,” Schneider said.
Col. Isaac Bell, deputy director of PACAF’s Air Operations Directorate, is serving as the interim 613th AOC commander.
The 613th AOC provides command and control of air and space operations across the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility.
