Bagram Medics Move Patients:
Airmen of the 455th Expeditionary Operations Group Aeromedical Evacuation Flight at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, have flown, since September 2005, more than 80 missions, evacuating more than 300 patients to facilities elsewhere in Afghanistan and in Germany. The flight comprises approximately 30 personnel, including nurses, doctors, med techs, med logisticians, respiratory techs, and others.
Depot-level maintenance took longer than expected for nearly three-quarters of Air Force aircraft from fiscal 2019-2024, according to a new report, as unplanned repairs rise across the aging fleet. The report, from the Government Accountability Office, also found that the extent of the delays has been masked because officials often revise their target timelines after unplanned work occurs.
