The Air Force has awarded a Bronze Star Medal to Capt. Kevin Fischer, a physician assistant with Air Force Special Operations Command’s 1st Special Operations Support Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., for his actions during a 10-month deployment to Iraq. TSgt. Kelley Ogden reports that Fischer provided emergency medical care during several mass and multi-casualty situations. He also led a joint forces team training Iraqi Army physicians, nurses, and medics.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
