Romania’s Mihail Kogaliceanu Airbase has been the site of tactical training for US and Romanian soldiers. Jumping with the ground forces was USAF 1st Lt. Chandra LeCompte, who is serving as a staff weather officer with the Southern European Task Force (Airborne), according to an Eastern European Task Force release. It was her first jump since completing Army airborne school.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
