WASHINGTON (AP) _ The Air Force says it will cut the service by nearly 10,000 active, National Guard and Reserve airmen next year.

The reduction is part of a broad move to downsize and shift capabilities around the country to be better prepared for wars of the future. Air Force leaders say more than half of the personnel cuts will be borne by the Air Guard.
