Air Force Reserve Command deactivated its 92nd Aerial Port Squadron in Forty Fort, Pa., last weekend. The Citizens Voice reports that the unit had served there for 51 years before falling prey to BRAC 2005 and the Air Force’s overall personnel drawdown. Some of the unit’s 130 airmen retired along with the 92nd APS.
The Pentagon announced new long-term agreements with four defense companies May 13 to develop and produce large numbers of low-cost cruise missiles. And while the effort will focus mostly on the Army to start, it pairs with Air Force efforts to find more affordable munitions.
