The Air Force and other services still are helping support Hurricane Felix relief efforts in Nicaragua. Army and Navy helicopters attached to Joint Task Force-Bravo flew dozens of sorties during the weekend, conducting search and rescue missions and transporting essential aid. An Air Force C-130 transported some 25,000 pounds of USAID from Homestead ARB, Fla., to a Puerto Cabezas airfield last weekend.
The Air Force must better explain Agile Combat Employment concepts, align training standards, and address staff shortages to be ready to implement the strategy, according to a new report by the federally funded RAND Corporation.
