USAF’s Second Air Force has a new commander. He is Maj. Gen. Michael Gould, a fighter pilot who assumed command last week. Headquartered at Keesler AFB, Miss., 2nd AF is the service’s second-largest command, managing much of USAF’s extensive training program. Some 225,000 airmen graduate annually from its programs. Gould replaces Lt. Gen. Chip Utterback.
The U.S. military conducted strikes on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz on May 7, as the conflict with Iran flared up again—though officials say the ceasefire remains in effect.
