Speaking of medical personnel, Peterson AFB, Colo., has just sent a contingent of its health staff to Ecuador. The 13-person team from the 21st Space Wing will remain in the country, working at different locations, for two weeks. They will pair with counterparts in the Ecuador Air Force, said wing officials. The Peterson team expects to see about 750 patients per day.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
