Air Force officials say the 24th Air Expeditionary Group air transportable clinic, which stood up at Chakala AB, Pakistan, shortly after the devastating earthquake, is still working. The medical team—active duty and reservists—has been dealing with a host of conditions over the past few months, including upper respiratory infections, sore throats, sinus congestion and headaches, in addition to building ties with the Pakistani medical personnel. They operate a 24-hour clinic to aid US personnel supporting the earthquake relief effort.
The Air Force’s B-52 bomber may soon be able to carry up to 20 stealthy long-range anti-ship missiles to strike moving targets at sea, a key capability in a potential fight with China.
