The Army has presented Army Commendation Medals to nine airmen from the 435th Vehicle Readiness Squadron at Ramstein AB, Germany, for their work on convoy duty supplying Army units in Iraq. The nine are: SSgt. Kimberly LeMaire, SSgt. Paula Newman, SSgt. David Reyes, SSgt. Rueben Rangel, SrA. Clay Jennings, SrA. Kevin LeMaire, A1C Joshua Soiney, and A1C Keith Diaz.
The Air Force has embraced new technical approaches like open mission systems and rapid software updates for cutting-edge aircraft like the B-21 and Collaborative Combat Aircraft. Increasingly, though, the service is also working to apply these to its older, “legacy” aircraft, officials said this week.
