Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday that “hopefully” he was taking his last DOD press conference as Chairman. He used the occasion to urge Americans to “remain steadfast in our fight against” terrorism. “As a nation, he said, our best weapons are patience and resolve—or, in one word, our will.” Myers retires Sept. 30 after 40 years of service.
NORAD surged two F-35s, two F-16s, and a trio of KC-135s to Pituffik Space Force Base in Greenland earlier this month for a “dynamic operational exercise,” testing its ability to rapidly deploy forces in the Arctic.
