The Pentagon took part in the Thursday ceremony announcing removal of the American Bald Eagle from the Department of Interior’s endangered species list because the military services manage land that serve as homes for more than 440 bald eagle nests. A Pentagon release notes that DOD environmental scientists, policy officials, and military personnel “worked together to plan and implement bald eagle management plans for each of these sites.” Well done.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
