With Air Force Reserve Command deactivating its 913th Airlift Wing at NAS JRB Willow Grove, Pa., many military and civilian personnel are signing on with the Air National Guard. Lou Sessinger of The Intelligencer reports that many of them are joining the Air Guard’s 166th Airlift Wing in Delaware. He notes that Air Reserve boss, Lt. Gen. John Bradley, is encouraging the move.
Defense experts say the drone threat represents only part of a larger, looming problem: U.S. air bases in the Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to air attacks.
