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 Pentagon awarded a contract worth over $2 billion for the next batch of F-35 engines to Pratt & Whitney on June 5. The deal for Lot 17 F135 engines, totaling $2.02 billion, is expected to be completed by December 2025.
