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.
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.
