Air Force officials say they have reached a major milestone with the recent signing of a record of decision for Dover AFB, Del., marking the last step toward the base’s efforts to remediate the 59 contaminated sites that put it on the Environmental Protection Agency’s superfund national priorities list. Acceptance of the ROD means that the EPA approves of the remediation plan. An EPA official called the Dover effort a “model for every federal facility.”
The Air Force is promoting 640 senior master sergeants to chief master sergeant this year, about a 27 percent increase over last cycle’s numbers. The Space Force is also increasing its senior master sergeant promotions by 48 percent.
