Kansas State University has named its military science building after retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Myers, who graduated from KSU in 1965 and earned his commission through Air Force ROTC, now serves at the university under a part-time appointment as a professor of military history and leadership. Among dignitaries at the naming ceremony was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said Myers is “an outstanding officer, and he is a consummate gentleman, and that is a nice combination.”
The Air Force’s airlift fleet is in desperate need of modern connectivity, spare parts, and other innovations to keep going amid growing demand and modernization plans still in their infancy, according to a former senior leader and a new research paper from AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
