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.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
