Air Force Reserve Command’s 433rd Airlift Wing at Lackland AFB, Tex., has added two squadrons to round out its new role as the sole Air Force training unit for the C-5 airlifter. The 356th Airlift Squadron and the 733rd Training Squadron joined the 433rd during a formal ceremony Tuesday. The airlift squadron conducts C-5 training courses, while the training squadron maintains administrative control of students.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
