Air Force Special Operations Command will host a Warrior CARE Summit in April for wounded, injured, or ill Active Duty members and their families. The event, which will take place near Hurlburt Field, Fla., is intended to “build support” for AFSOC’s wounded warrior community, said Li?sa Dunaway, AFSOC Warrior CARE (Connection, Awareness, Resources, Endurance) program manager, in a release. “We have an amazing team of people who are looking at the heart of the challenges our airmen and families may be facing,” said Dunaway. “AFSOC wants to give back to them—for the sacrifices they endured not only physically or mentally, but as a family.” Space is limited to 50 Active Duty members, according to the release.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
