The Air Force has sent a unit of F-15E Strike Eagles to supplement the combat force at Bagram AB, Afghanistan. More than 200 airmen and several fighters arrived at Bagram Jan. 14, deploying from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. The fighter can perform in both air-to-air and air-to-ground roles, and it’s the latter capability that officials say will be most valuable in Afghanistan.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
