Army Gen. B.B. Bell, head of US Forces Korea, stopped by Kunsan AB, South Korea, last week on a tour of some of his command facilities and told the Wolfpack airmen that USFK would provide some money to kickstart facility upgrades, such as a new dining facility, base clinic, and library, reports SrA. Stephen Collier. Bell also noted that Kunsan is “growing more and more into a joint force base,” calling the plans to incorporate Army and Air Force units at Kunsan “into one, cohesive operation are very impressive.”
The Air Force plans to add external weapons pylons on the B-1B bomber, both to increase the number of aircraft that can test hypersonic missiles and expand the Lancer’s loadout as USAF transitions to the B-21 bomber.
