US Central Command Air Forces leader, Lt. Gen. Gary North, traveled to Afghanistan last week, visiting with airmen at various locations, including those serving in unconventional roles on Provincial Reconstruction Teams. On his stopover at the Mehtar Lam PRT, one of six PRTs run by the US Air Force in Afghanistan. North praised the airmen’s work, saying they’d be much better for their time in this joint operation when they “go back” to their Air Force jobs. “There’s not a better example of the joint environment than the PRT,” said North.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
