Vietnam will send observers to the 2007 Air Mobility Command Rodeo, according to an AMC statement. Twenty-five nations, including Vietnam, plan to send observers to the rodeo, which runs from July 22 through July 28 at McChord AFB, Wash. Ten countries are sending teams to compete in airlift, tanker, security forces, aeromedical, aerial port, and maintenance events. Competitors and observers—more than 2,500 people—will represent 34 countries.
The Air Force conducted its first test of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile in 2026 on March 3, launching an unarmed missile from Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., equipped with two test reentry vehicles at 11:01 p.m. Pacific Time.
