CMSAF Rodney McKinley told lawmakers last week during a House Appropriations panel hearing that one of his priorities is to ensure the Air Force and Congress provides the necessary help for airmen who have been wounded in the war on terror and their families. McKinley said that in his talks with wounded military members, they have expressed “concerns about their future, and we owe it to them to make sure that they understand that we’re going to be there, we’re going to take care of them, we’re going to take care of their families.”
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
