    Acting Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton A. Schwartz hold a press conference at the Pentagon, Sept. 25, 2008, to announce they have taken administrative actions against 15 officers found to have been negligent in the erroneous shipment, in August 2006, of four intercontinental ballistic missile nose-cone fuse assemblies to Taiwan. Among the 15 to receive these administrative, non-punitive actions are 6 general officers. While these actions are not punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, they do point to alleged deficiencies in performance and may significantly affect career advancement.
