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.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
