Airmen 
at Eielson AFB, Alaska, gathered on Aug. 21 to dedicate a building to the memory of MSgt. Brad A. Clemmons, an explosive ordnance disposal specialist who was killed by an improvised explosive device in Iraq exactly two years ago on that day. Clemmons served with the 354th Civil Engineer Squadron; he died when his vehicle struck the IED. During the ceremony at Eielson, Brig. Gen, Mark Graper, 354th Fighter Wing commander, dedicated the EOD building that now bears Clemmons’ name and unveiled the new memorial to him in the building. (Eielson report by TSgt. Gloria Wilson)
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
