DOD is standing up its new Operationally Responsive Space joint office today at Kirtland AFB, N.M. New Mexico lawmakers announced earlier this month that Kirtland would be the site of the new office. Its first director will be Air Force Col. Kevin McLaughlin, who also serves as the commander for the Space Development and Test Wing at Kirtland.
Air Force Chief of Staff nominee Gen. Henneth Wilsbach said he'll give special attention to coordinating with the Navy on buys of new weapons like the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile.
