The Air Force last week opened a new aeromedical staging facility in Iraq, reports Air Force Print News in Iraq. It will serve as a holding area for injured troops transiting from the field to medical centers outside the theater. The center cost $85,000 to build and can accommodate up to 100 patients.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
