The Air Force has developed a counter-biological warfare concept of operations and an instruction it expects to apply to all its facilities, the culmination of a year’s assessment of the biowar threat posed to Kunsan AB, South Korea. Service officials worked with Kunsan to develop tactics, techniques, and procedures that USAF could apply to all its installations, reports SSgt. Monique Randolph. The result is the CONOPS and Air Force Instruction 10-2604, Disease Containment Planning Guidance, which the Air Force expects all facilities to embrace over the next six months.
United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket is slated to fly its second national security mission in February—nearly six months after its first operational launch and almost a year after it was certified to fly military payloads for the Space Force.
