Lt. Gen. Donald Wurster on Nov. 27 took command of Air Force Special Operations Command, replacing Lt. Gen. Michael Wooley. Wooley, who took his final flight last week, plans to formally retire Jan. 1. In his remarks following the ceremony, Wurster said, “For every Air Commando, you know there may very well be a day when you will be thrust into history. Whatever your specialty, … each of you has an important role to play. In an Air Force that is half the size it was when I joined, there is no extra.” (Report by 1st Lt. Amy Cooper.)
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
