Lt. Col. Derek Hoffnung with the 28th Test and Evaluation Squadron at Eglin AFB, Fla., received a Bronze Star for his actions while deployed to Camp Victory in Iraq, where he commanded the 704th Expeditionary Support Squadron. His mission was to support more than 70 battlefield airmen teams at 78 locations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
