The Air Force has inactivated the Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Battlelab at Langley AFB, Va., after some 10 years of operation. As we reported earlier this year, the Air Force decided to close all seven of its battlelabs because of overall money woes. All seven are due to close by Oct. 1.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
