Turkey has provided some 135,000 pounds of equipment and supplies for operations in Afghanistan—all of it airlifted by USAF C-17s deployed to Incirlik AB, Turkey. Active, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve airmen of the 728th Air Mobility Squadron at Incirlik loaded the material, including helicopters, ambulances, and various shipping containers, which the C-17s airlifted to Kabul Air Base in Afghanistan.
The Space Development Agency added 21 satellites to its nascent data transport network in an Oct. 15 launch, the second mission in 10-month campaign to field 154 operational spacecraft.
