The Air Force, acknowledging for the first time that looming defense cuts will cause major layoffs within its ranks, said Friday that new personnel policies will force as many as 11,000 uniformed personnel out of the service during the next two years. Affected servicemen and women will begin receiving notice of their shortened tenure at the end of this month, Air Force officials said.
