The head of the Air Force has urged all personnel to report contact with foreign companies who try to recruit them for potentially lucrative employment overseas. Gen. Charles Q. Brown, who is also the White House's pick for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wrote a memo distributed to everyone in the Air Force warning that those with "specialized knowledge" are being recruited for jobs that lead to training of members of the Chinese military. Pilots are acknowledged to be the top of that heap, but the Washington Post reported that equipment maintainers and landing signals officers are also prime targets, perhaps reflecting China's rapid development of a potent carrier force.
