Iceland Units Move to Lakenheath: Air Force units in Iceland are in the process of moving from NAS Keflavik, Iceland, and Stars & Stripes reports that the last one to leave has started transferring its HH-60G helicopters and personnel to RAF Lakenheath, England. The 56th Rescue Squadron has sent two of its five helicopters to Lakenheath, to be followed by the rest of the unit sometime this fall. US Air Forces in Europe dispatched personnel teams earlier this year to help the Keflavik airmen with new assignments.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
