The Air Force has awarded Maj. Douglas Webb, 5th Medical Operations Squadron, Minot AFB, N.D., a Bronze Star for his actions during deployment to forward operating base Al Kasik, Iraq. According to the Minot Northern Star, Webb oversaw opening a new $1 million troop medical clinic and medical training for Iraqi soldiers. He also served on 23 combat patrols as a medic, driver, and truck commander, and provided emergency medical care to 70 casualties, among other accomplishments.
The Air Force is on track to reach its annual goal of graduating 1,500 new pilots that had proved elusive to this point, one year after the service launched a sweeping overhaul of its undergraduate pilot training program, Air Education and Training Command said Sept. 14.
