DENVER --  Lt. Gen. Charles E. Stenner Jr., commander of Air Force Reserve Command, will speak to Airmen and civilian employees at the Air Reserve Personnel Center, here, Aug. 7. 

The visit will be the general's first to ARPC after he assumed command of the Air Force Reserve on June 24. 

Speaking recently at the Pentagon, General Stenner said his immediate goal is to keep the Air Force Reserve on a steady course with the active duty and Air National Guard toward Total Force. 

"The Air Force has some very, very good objectives for the way ahead (in) winning the war on terror, taking care of our people and recapitalizing this Air Force to include the Air Force Reserve," he said. "Our reserve warriors are going to continue in their assigned duties. They've been doing it exceptionally well and I expect that to continue." 

General Stenner serves a dual role, dividing time between chief of the Air Force Reserve in Washington and head of the Air Force Reserve Command at Robins AFB, Ga. 

He is a command pilot with more than 3,500 flying hours in the F-4 Phantom II, A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-16 Fighting Falcon. 

General Stenner's visit will coincide with ARPC commander, Brig. Gen. Eric Crabtree's commander's call Aug. 6. The calls are mandatory for Airmen, and civilian employees are highly encouraged to attend.
