The Air Force has some 200 airmen deployed to the Camp Lemonier in Djibouti, Africa, to support US Central Command’s Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa mission to prevent conflict and promote regional stability. The Air Force contingent last week got a visit from Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, who called the work they do there “a tremendous benefit.”
Defense experts say the drone threat represents only part of a larger, looming problem: U.S. air bases in the Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to air attacks.
