Air Mobility 
Command has been transporting thousands of military personnel, civilian responders, and evacuees, as well as delivering tons of emergency equipment and supplies. As of Sept. 5, AMC had moved 2,552 patients, aided by an 80-person expeditionary medical support team from Scott AFB, Ill., operating out of the New Orleans airport. The command also sent more than 80 contingency response airmen—active duty and Guard—to Keesler AFB, Miss., New Orleans airport, and Gulfport, Miss., to help re-establish airfield operations.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
