Air Force Reserve Command’s 440th Airlift Wing, which relocated from Wisconsin to Pope AFB, N.C., has picked up where it left off, flying Integrated Continental US Medical Operations Plan missions. The wing, which is the only AFRC unit flying ICOMP missions, had to stop during its transition to Pope, reports Lt. Col. Ann Knabe. Milwaukee. These missions originally flew injured servicemembers from medical facilities in the US to their homes, but they now include other stateside missions that call for C-130 airlifters.
The Space Force should take bold, decisive steps—and soon—to develop the capabilities and architecture needed to support more flexible, dynamic operations in orbit and counter Chinese aggression and technological progress, according to a new report from AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
