Blue for Green—Training With the Army:
Known as Iraqi Assistance Group Foxtrot, some 59 airmen recently received training with the Army at Ft. Hood, Tex., to prepare themselves to help the Iraqi Army develop its organizational and base infrastructure—the type of work traditionally handled by the Army. Before going to Iraq, the airmen must complete 299 individual combat tasks, and, while en route, they get additional weapons and cultural training.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
