Airmen who have poured in to Louis Armstrong International Airport to assist with disaster efforts in New Orleans will have tent cities, complete with latrines, showers, and laundry services, courtesy of the newly formed 4th Air Expeditionary Force. The 4th AEG includes personnel from Holloman, AFB, N.M., Scott AFB, Ill., Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C., Shaw AFB, S.C., and Tyndall, AFB, Fla.
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
