TSgt. Larry D. Bunn, 43, of Bossier City, La., died on March 7 as a result of a non-combat-related incident at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia, announced the Defense Department on Monday. Bunn was assigned to Air Force Reserve Command’s 307th Maintenance Squadron at Barksdale AFB, La. He was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, states DOD’s March 11 release.
Defense experts say the drone threat represents only part of a larger, looming problem: U.S. air bases in the Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to air attacks.
