The latest recruiting and retention figures released Tuesday by the Pentagon show November as a strong recruiting month for each service and all reserve components except the Army and Navy Reserves. The Air Force and Air Force Reserve Command each recruited 100 percent of their goals. The Air National Guard, which struggled somewhat last year, posted the best record of all, taking in 115 percent of its goal.
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.
