Cannon Very Much in Contention for Special Ops: The Air Force now has a report that indicates the service should seriously consider Cannon AFB, N.M., as a possible site for elements of Air Force Special Operations Command, reports the Clovis (N.M) News-Journal. AFSOC spokesman Matt Durham tells the newspaper that AFSOC believes either Cannon or Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., would suit the command’s plans, which include gaining a training facility with desert-like conditions. An AFSOC team visited Cannon earlier this year.
A new White House new executive order, “Ensuring American Space Superiority,” emphasizes space security as a high priority for President Donald Trump and underlines the Space Force’s role in not only defending U.S. assets, but also in the attack mission.
