These ten programs are once again ACAT 1C, which means they are approved at the service acquisition executive level. Their temporary designation of ACAT 1D programs meant that program decisions were approved at the USD(AT&L) level. Milestone Decision Authority for these ten major defense acquisition programs now falls under to the Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne.
