Actually, the AF personnel I have seen with M-4s tended to have a nasty mix of old Vietnam era through current issue parts, with XM-16 lowers and CQB-R uppers clapped together with an assortment of optics in a seeming haphazard manner.
This looks to me like they might be planning to buy some new rifles to replace those with.
Maybe they figured out where this war is taking place and reprioritized a little money.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
