Ten Air National Guardsmen from six states have come together at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to construct a 6,000-square-foot Expeditionary Legal Complex for military commissions, reports Army Sgt. Michael Owens. The $10 million project will include mobile offices around the complex. “We are working on schedule, and I am confident that we will be finished by mid-March … maybe earlier,” said Air Force Lt. Col. James Starnes, commander of the 474th Expeditionary Civil Engineering Squadron.
The Air Force is requesting about $141 million for initial enlistment bonuses in its fiscal 2026 budget, while Space Force wants $13 million.
