Some 90 airmen—all volunteers—recently graduated from the US Army’s interrogator school at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. USAF officials say the Army asked for help in filling shortages of skilled interrogators on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Air Force plans to recruit more volunteers for next year’s course, which involves field and combat training, as well as classroom instruction.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
