The Air Force has awarded Bronze Star medals to 11 airmen for their meritorious service during deployments to Southwest Asia. They are: Maj. Jean Havens, Columbus AFB, Miss; Maj. Aaron Hopper, Capt. Michael Oldham, MSgt. John Bilczewski, and MSgt. David Howe, Luke AFB, Ariz.; TSgt. Tracy King, TSgt. Douglas McDowell, TSgt. Michael Yates, SSgt. Dustin Lambries, and SSgt. Keith Schulz, Langley AFB, Va.; and SSgt. Benjamin Ford, RAF Lakenheath, England.
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.
