The Pentagon has identified an airman killed Oct. 14 by enemy gunfire while he was working with a military police training team in Iraq. He was A1C Leebernard E. Chavis, a security forces airman deployed from the 23rd Wing, Moody AFB, Ga., to the 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron at Balad AB, Iraq, according to an Air Force release. At the time of his death he was serving as a turret gunner with the Iraqi police near Baghdad.
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
