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.
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
