The flight line of Incirlik AB, Turkey, has become crowded with cargo and airmen as elements of the Air Force’s 39th Air Base Wing and the Turkish 10th Tanker Base worked to load 19 truckloads of United Nations supplies onto C-130s bound for Pakistan. The first shipment of aid left Oct. 19, and the airmen at the base had been working 24-hours-a-day for three days prior, according to Capt. Paul Cornwell, the 39th Logistics Readiness Squadron’s operations officer.
The Space Force’s recent contract to Muon Space to repurpose their commercial weather satellites for military use will inform a broader “data-as-a-service” strategy for its space-based environmental monitoring mission.
