Air Mobility Command boss Gen. Duncan McNabb stopped by McChord AFB, Wash., to check on the progress being made to ready the base to receive more than 100 national and international mobility teams that will participate in Rodeo in July. McNabb said the event “is the kind of competition that allows us to take mobility forces to a whole different level,” providing a chance to share tactics and techniques. “Rodeo raises the bar for everybody and … it takes the whole force forward,” said McNabb.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
