Command for US Air Forces in Europe formally has changed from Gen. Robert H. Foglesong to Gen. William T. Hobbins. (DR 11/10/05) At the ceremony, which took place at Ramstein AB, Germany, on Dec. 6, Hobbins praised Foglesong, particularly for overseeing the stand up of the Air Force Warfighting Headquarters and centers of excellence for expeditionary operations, air dominance, and joint fires. Hobbins also publicly lauded USAFE airmen in a commentary released by his new command.
The Air Force announced Aug. 13 it recently tested prototypes for a portable ground station for commanding and controlling semi-autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft, and a spokesperson now says the plan is to award a contract for the effort next summer.
