In a rare treat for a grandfather, Robert Fearing pinned a Bronze Star on his grandson, Air Force Office of Special Investigation Agent Robert Fearing at Travis AFB, Calif. Agent Fearing received the award for his work in counterintelligence operations at Balad AB, Iraq. USAF officials say he aided the capture of 50 enemy insurgents (the old name), including one high-priority terrorist leader—unnamed. Agent Fearing is an 18-year USAF veteran.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
