Air Force Special Operations Command has created a Battlefield Airman Clinic, which it expects to “better serve the unique physical needs” of USAF’s ground warriors as they go through advanced skills training. The new clinic is primarily the work of the medical staff of the 720th Special Tactics Group at Hurlburt Field, Fla. “Our special operators and TACP [tactical air control party] students have different needs and different injuries that require different focus and perspective,” said Maj. Gen. Don Wurster, AFSOC vice commander, at the official ribbon cutting.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
