Kenney Comes Up on One Year:
As the Kenney Headquarters at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, nears the end of its first year, a senior Pacific Air Forces official says the warfighting center fills a previous void, like the other warfighting headquarters recently established by the Air Force, providing a “ready to act command and control capability 24/7/365.” Kenney commander, Lt. Gen. David Deptula, said, “Never again will we commence a no-notice contingency from a standing start.”
The U.S. began extensive air and artillery strikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria on Dec. 19 in retaliation for the killing of three Americans on Dec. 13 by a gunman affiliated with ISIS, U.S. officials said.
