The Air Force Academy has sent 18 cadets to Southwest Asia over the summer as part of Operation Air Force. SrA. Clark Staehle reports that the 18, who will be seniors at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., in the fall, are being given “duties and tasks that will fall under their purview after they graduate.”
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
