The Air Force has lauded the 36th Air Expeditionary Wing at Andersen AFB, Guam, with an Outstanding Unit Award. According to Stars and Stripes, the wing commander, Col. Michael Boera, called Andersen’s accomplishments in Fiscal 2005 “unprecendented.” Among the base’s achievements: managing 16 rotations of B-1B, B-2, B-52, KC-135, and F-15E units that flew 3,000 sorties and mapping out one of the service’s largest construction programs. Considering Pentagon plans for Andersen, we doubt things will ease any time soon.
President Donald Trump on July 4 signed into law $150 billion in defense funds as part of the tax-and-spending package known as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” after congressional Republicans approved the legislation in narrow, drawn-out votes earlier this week.
