The Air Force said that 1st Lt. Sarah Small, 25, of Herndon, Va., was killed in a motor vehicle accident Sept. 19 while she was participating in Bright Star 2005 in Egypt. Two noncommissioned officers also in the vehicle were injured and taken to a hospital, where they were listed in stable condition. Small was a public affairs officer, assigned to the Air and Space Expeditionary Force Center, Langley AFB, Va. She had been on active duty since 2002.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
