Air Mobility Command has activated the 41st Airlift Squadron at Little Rock AFB, Ark., making it the first active duty combat C-130J squadron. Little Rock received its first new J model Hercules last month. The 41st AS was assigned to Pope AFB, N.C., but BRAC 2005 sent the Black Cats packing and trading in their C-130Es. The unit’s members began the move in February.
The Space Force is planning improvements at its launch ranges to better accommodate the logistics and infrastructure demands that come with the launch industry’s shift toward reusable rockets, according to the commanders of the service’s two launch deltas.
