The Air Force wants to check the post-deployment health of airmen two times: immediately after they return and after 90 to 180 days have passed. USAF just began implementing the twice-over assessments this month. Airmen fill out a four-page DOD form via the Web when prompted by their unit deployment manager. The electronic form then goes to the airman’s medical treatment facility for professional review.
The Space Force is playing a key role in planning for “Golden Dome,” President Donald Trump’s initiative for comprehensive air and missile defense of the homeland, leaders said this week. But actually building and fielding the ambitious idea will require a major concerted effort across the Pentagon and intelligence community.
