Air Force firefighters from the 349th and 60th Civil Engineer Squadrons at Travis AFB, Calif., won the World Firefighter Combat Challenge team competition for the second year in a row. The Travis team beat more than 240 firefighters from around the world during the Deerfield Beach, Fla., competition last week. Teams competed in five task areas—climbing a five-story tower, hosting and chopping, dragging hoses, and rescuing a life-size victim, all in “full bunker gear.”
Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Schiess will be nominated by President Donald Trump as the next Chief of Space Operations, the service’s top uniformed leader, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
