Air Combat Command advanced its redesignation of the 347th Rescue Wing as the 23rd Wing (of legendary Flying Tiger fame) by a few days, holding a formal ceremony at Moody AFB, Ga., Friday. The action coincides with the move of the 23rd Fighter Group from Pope AFB, N.C., to Moody and its placement under the new 23rd Wing.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
