Schwartz visited Barksdale Air Force Base, one of the installations housing the nation's nuclear-capable B-52 bombers, in a trip designed to emphasize the importance of reforms in how weapons are handled. Schwartz became the top uniformed Air Force officer in August with a mandate to overhaul nuclear weapons procedures after a series of problems involving oversight of the nuclear arsenal, including the mistaken transfer of several warheads from North Dakota to Louisiana last year. The new Air Force chief praised airmen for passing surprise inspections conducted at the base in recent months. But he appeared disappointed when told that the Air Force still used paper ledgers to keep track of nuclear weapons. He later discussed with senior generals ways that the tracking process could be improved. "It seems to me there is a more modern way to maintain inventories of weapons and nuclear materials," Schwartz said in an interview after his visit to the base.
