The Pentagon announced Sunday that A1C Carl Jerome Ware Jr., 22, of Glassboro, N.J., had died July 1 from a non-combat related cause at Camp Bucca, Iraq. The airman was deployed to Iraq from the 15th Security Forces Squadron, Hickam AFB, Hawaii. The death is under investigation.
A combined Navy and Air Force program is seeking to build a smaller version of a ubiquitous air-to-air missile that could give advanced aircraft, such as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, greater magazine depth in a high-end fight.
