Air Force Medics Reach Out in Iraq:
Since September 2005, USAF medics deployed to Sather AB, Iraq, have spent a few days each week at the Army’s Civil Military Operations Center, where they have treated and interacted with thousands of Iraqis, according to Air Force journalist SSgt. Bryan Bouchard. They work on all kinds of medical conditions, starting efforts to get some to the US for treatment if needed. Army officials say the most sought after care is dentistry, since many Iraqis have never seen a dentist.
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.
