An airman deployed in support of Operational Inherent Resolve died Monday as a result of non-combat injuries. The airman, whose name was withheld pending next of kin notification, was assigned to the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia, according to Air Forces Central Command. No additional details about the airman’s death were released.
The Air Force’s senior enlisted leader told lawmakers that the service is working on 17 new on-base child care facilities to reduce a space shortfall and clear a backlog of Airmen’s children waiting for slots.
