soldiers of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division working out of the New Orleans airport now have the cool comfort of an Air Force tent city, courtesy of the 4th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron. One soldier said it will be the first time in 22 years of service, he has slept in a tent with air conditioning. Many of the soldiers banded together with the airmen to get the tents set up. Said one soldier, “I’ve never really hung out with Air Force people before.” Welcome to the Blue.
The Space Force on April 15 released two highly anticipated future-casting documents that describe what the service expects the space environment will look like in the year 2040 and lay out the force structure it thinks it will need to operate in that environment.
