The Pentagon on Tuesday identified the airman who died July 18 of a non-combat-related injury as 1st Lt. Anais A. Tobar, 25, of Miami. Tobar was assigned to the 4th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron from Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C. Tobar was deployed in support of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, according to a news release. The Pentagon did not provide additional details on Tobar’s death.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
