Air Force Gen. Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong, commander of US Air Forces in Europe, says he’s retiring. A USAFE press release confirms that, but does not give a date. (Update: An Air Force memo for staff does project his retirement, effective Feb. 1, 2006.) Nor does it specify the date for change of command. The commander-in-waiting, Gen. William T. Hobbins, already has been confirmed by the Senate. Watch this space for more information. (Check here for Foglesong’s post-USAF plans.)
The Space Force on April 15 released two highly anticipated future-casting documents that describe what the service expects the space environment will look like in the year 2040 and lay out the force structure it thinks it will need to operate in that environment.
