Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told NATO allies that the U.S. is embarking on a sweeping review of the American military presence in Europe. He also warned that the U.S. would cut American funds to the alliance’s operating budget if allies did not fulfill their commitment to boost military spending. The review will be led by Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the head of U.S. European Command, and the assessment has no predetermined outcome, a U.S. official told Air & Space Forces Magazine. Grynkewich also serves as NATO’s top military officer as Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

As the Space Force develops options to respond to real-time threats in orbit by rapidly launching new payloads or tapping into commercial constellations, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for innovative technology that could support those efforts and expand the scope of gap-filler capabilities the U.S. military can leverage in a crisis. 

The Department of the Air Force has released new guidance for the policy that directs chaplains to remove rank insignia from their uniforms, an update that directs Airmen and Guardians to treat chaplains as they always have—as commissioned officers.

When Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman addressed the graduating class of the Air Force Weapons School on June 13, he marked a milestone as the first Guardian to do so—and gave a sneak peek of the service’s new mess dress.
