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 new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
