A British municipal council rejected an application by the US Air Force to build around 500 new houses on land near RAF Mildenhall, reports the Stars and Stripes.

The council, according to the Stripes, also noted that ongoing restructuring within the Air Force left the actual number of new homes needed in the air.
A new Air Force organization is searching for counter-drone firms to participate in a dozen or more exercises to help create operating plans by the end of this year for defending the service’s U.S.-based installations from drone attacks.
