The Air Force has awarded a Bronze Star Medal to SSgt. Adam Ginett, an explosive ordnance disposal team leader at Shaw AFB, S.C., for his actions while deployed to Afghanistan. SrA. Holly MacDonald reports that Ginett led 64 combat operations and destroyed munitions and improvised explosive devices with a net explosive weight of some 24,000 pounds.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
