Florida’s Eglin Air Force Base is at the forefront of fighting one of the largest threats to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan—the improvised explosive device. The base has opened an Advanced Improvised Explosive Device Training Facility, which includes a mock airport, library, gas station, and bank. It is part of the school that trains USAF bomb squad members.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
