A Bronze to IMA Hogan:
The Air Force has awarded a Bronze Star to Air Force Reserve Command’s Lt. Col. Joe Hogan, an individual mobilization augmentee at the 72nd Security Forces Squadron, Tinker AFB, Okla. The 33-year veteran moved airmen out of the danger area and stayed to man the security post when an enemy rocket struck the Kirkuk AB, Iraq, munitions storage area in June 2004.
The Air Force is accelerating its plans to field an MQ-9A replacement in the wake of heavy Reaper losses in operations against Iran, top officials said Sept. 3, and they’re targeting a price point of just $10 million per aircraft.
