San Antonio Express-News: Commander who oversaw Lackland scandal retiring
San Antonio Express-News reports:
Gen. Edward Rice Jr., who led the Air Force’s response to its worst-ever worst sexual misconduct scandal, will soon retire as head of the San Antonio-based Air Education and Training Command.
Rice, an Albuquerque, N.M., native who spent part of his childhood on the South Side, will close out a career that ran 35 years. He’ll be replaced by Lt. Gen. Robin Rand, now commander of the 12th Air Force at Davis-Monthan AFB.
“It will be several months before I actually retire,” Rice, 57, said in a brief statement. “I look forward to continuing to serve the airmen of AETC and the American people during this period of challenge and opportunity.”
