US Special Operations Command officials formally opened a new 112-thousand square foot facility for the Center for Special Operations at the command’s home base at MacDill AFB, Fla. Gen. Bryan D. Brown, SOCOM commander, has deemed the center a “model for joint intelligence and operations.”
As the threat of Iranian-made drones grew, the Air Force rushed last year to equip F-15E Strike Eagles in the Middle East with a cheap, cost-effective way of defeating them. The service fielded the new capability in roughly a week.
