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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
