But more must be done, Kendall noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kendall also urged Congress to swiftly pass a budget so the department doesn\u2019t have to operate under a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/11\/18\/what-is-a-continuing-resolution\/\" target=\"_blank\">continuing resolution<\/a>, and decried the hold Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has on hundreds of general officer nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kendall also pointed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/09\/07\/air-force-pushes-for-quickstart-plan-to-launch-programs-without-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pentagon\u2019s so-called quickstart proposal<\/a> to Congress \u2014 which would allow the military to begin work on some of its most vital new programs before a budget is passed \u2014 as an example of a reform that would allow the department to operate more efficiently and \u201cprevent us from losing ground unnecessarily.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Air Force secretary wants his department to
