The Air Force’s two top leaders have released a new Letter to Airmen that urges airmen to consider how their “personal well-being affects [their] job performance” and, by extension, the unit mission. The leaders cite hurricane season as an example for airmen who live in hurricane-prone areas to consider “how prepared you are to protect your family financially.” Read the entire letter here.
U.S. Southern Command recently announced its first lethal strike on a suspected narco-trafficking vessel in two months, and the first under a newly formed permanent counter-cartel task force. The U.S. is also reportedly planning to transfer MQ-9 drones to Colombia to bolster its counter-cartel efforts.
