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 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.
