On a r
ecent trip to China, Gen. Paul Hester asked a large unit commander how China would integrate that nation’s anti-satellite capability into its war plans. The Chinese commander politely sidestepped the question, but admitted to Hester that he had only learned about the ASAT test from Western media. He also privately told Hester that China’s space and air assets are not integrated, and that he hoped China would pattern a new organization like Air Force Space Command to bring them together. It was “an enriching discussion,” Hester said during AFA’s Air & Space Conference in Washington.
Airman 1st Class Marcus White-Allen concocted a story to cover up that he fired his M18 9mm pistol into Airman Braden Lovan’s chest killing him on July 20, two Airmen from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, WY testified during separate courts martial proceedings on Oct. 30-31.
