An airman assigned to 11th Air Force at JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, died Wednesday in a gun attack by an Afghan air force officer on ISAF military personnel at Kabul Air Base. The Air Force has not yet released the airman’s name, pending notification of kin. The airman was among the eight US troops and one US contractor whom the Afghan officer killed.

While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
