Nine airmen from Soto Cano AB, Honduras, have deployed as part of Joint Task Force-Bravo supporting post-Hurricane Stan relief efforts in Guatemala. The JTF is based out of Guatemala City’s international airport. Pentagon officials say it has been flying relief operations since Oct. 7, delivering more than 425,000 pounds of food, medical supplies, and equipment.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
