The Air Force has concluded that a B-52 crew from the 96th Bomb Squadron, Barksdale AFB, La., entered incorrect coordinates for inert bombs they were to drop over a training range, reports Associated Press news service. The bombs fell into a popular recreational lake in Kansas, near the Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range, injuring no one and damaging no property.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
