Air Force Special Operations Command today is holding a special memorial at Hurlburt Field, Fla., for SrA. Adam Servais, the combat controller killed in Afghanistan Aug. 19. Servais, who joined the Air Force in 2002, was on his second deployment since he graduated from advanced skills training for combat control team members in September 2004. A member of the 23rd Special Tactics Squadron, Servais was working with the Afghan National Army when insurgents attacked the convoy in which he was traveling.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
