The Pentagon has identified the three airmen killed Jan. 7 by an improvised explosive device in the Baghdad area. They were: TSgt. Timothy R. Weiner, 35, of Tamarac, Fla.; SrA. Elizabeth A. Loncki, 23, of New Castle, Del.; and SrA. Daniel B. Miller Jr., 24, from Galesburg, Ill. All three explosive ordnance disposal airmen were deployed to Iraq from Hill AFB, Utah. The Pentagon release did not identify the fourth airman who was injured.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
