A two-week exercise called Eagle Flag wrapped up at Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, N.J. The exercise, designed to help airmen prepare for expeditionary deployments, concluded on Oct. 28. Participants were tested on a wide range of expeditionary combat support skills. Besides working to build a base from the ground up, Eagle Flag 06-01 participants faced simulated enemy threats such as chemical attacks.
The Air Force may wind up buying land to build 120 new intercontinental ballistic missile silos as part of its revamped infrastructure approach for the new Sentinel ICBM.
