According to the Air Force’s top enlisted airman, CMSAF Rodney McKinley, “One thing we haven’t done well is to tell our story.” So, USAF will build on its initial “Air Force Week” event in St. Louis and hopes to expand it to perhaps 10 cities in 2007. McKinley told Air Force Magazine Monday that cities where there is no military presence are of particular concern, and USAF officials want to focus information efforts there.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
