Medical specialists, doctors, and dentists from PACAF recently wrapped up several weeks of work in remote Cambodia, where they visited rural villages and treated thousands of patients. PACAF personnel screened 13,000 patients and treated approximately 3,500 during their visit to the Asian country, in addition to donating clothing, toys, school supplies, and hygiene kits along with other medical and health supplies. The missions operated in concert with local health treatment facilities, the US embassy, the US Agency for International Development, and Cambodia’s Ministry of Health.
Bell Textron has won DARPA's contest for a no-runway, high-speed drone that will prove out technologies useful for special operations forces and possibly the Air Force's Agile Combat Employment concept. Bell's design converts a tiltrotor to a jet-powered aircraft able to fly at up to 450 knots.
