Ten Air National Guardsmen from six states have come together at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to construct a 6,000-square-foot Expeditionary Legal Complex for military commissions, reports Army Sgt. Michael Owens. The $10 million project will include mobile offices around the complex. “We are working on schedule, and I am confident that we will be finished by mid-March … maybe earlier,” said Air Force Lt. Col. James Starnes, commander of the 474th Expeditionary Civil Engineering Squadron.
Amid NATO’s continued push to ramp up air defenses in Eastern Europe, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall swung by seven allied countries to boost relations last week, including those on Russia’s and Ukraine’s doorstep.
