The 90th Space Wing at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., is the host for a Defense Secretary-directed capabilities demonstration exercise that will test the US response to a nuclear weapons accident. CAPEX, which is set for June, is the third of four worldwide response demonstrations set out by the NATO-Russia Council. Russia held the first in 2004, followed by Britain in 2005, and France will host the last in 2007.
Lt. Gen. Jason T. Hinds took charge of NATO Allied Air Command and U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa on Oct. 31, one day after being confirmed for the post by the Senate.
