Britain will permit the US to use an air force base at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire as a site for missile defense shield elements. British Defense Minister Des Browne said Menwith Hill would be equipped with communications equipment and that this arrangement is “a building block to enhance our national and collective security,” according to Associated Press.
The Air Force is requesting about $141 million for initial enlistment bonuses in its fiscal 2026 budget, while Space Force wants $13 million.
