The Pentagon is planning to spend $20 million on improvements at Mihail Kogalniceanu AB, Romania, now used by US forces as a training area and way station for troops headed to the Middle East., reports Scott Schonauer of Stars and Stripes. Hotel owner Gheorge Enache and other local businessmen look forward to an economic boost when American service members are rotated into the area.
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.
